Columbus
These Are My Jewels (Levi Scofield, 1894)
Ohio was the birthplace of seven men who played important roles in the formation of the
United States. The figure atop the sculpture is Cornelia, a Roman whose rich friends
laughed at her for lack of jewels. In response, she presented her sons as her
"jewels." Here she represents the State of Ohio remembering her famous sons. How
could you discover which men are honored here? Be the first to send us a correct response
