FUN FACTS

Did you know...

A mastodon tooth was found near Cadiz in 1874?

In 1878, 900,000 pounds of wool were purchased in Harrison County?

We have our own version of "Big Foot" called a Jimhinker; a mysterious animal, never seen, only heard.  No recent sightings.
 

Harrison County has more than 4200 acres of lakes?

We have a sixteen-sided barn - one of only three in America.  Near Freeport.  Built in 1921.

Cadiz was the site of "the greatest bank robbery west of the Ohio River" in 1866.  About $25,000,000 in today's currency.


Credit for these tantalizing tidbits goes to our Historical Society.

The Cadiz/Harrison County Visitors Center was the brain child of an ambitious group of citizens who recognized the need for an organized promotion of the areas many tourism attractions.  As a result, the Cadiz/Harrison County Visitors Bureau was formed and the task of building a centralized tourism center was undertaken.  The Center was completed and opened on a volunteer basis in 2003.  An Executive Director was hired in 2006 and a county-wide outreach effort has been underway to promote all that Harrison County has to share.

The Visitors Bureau is incorporated and overseen by a Board of Directors who represent the organizations and attractions in Harrison County.

The main source of funding for the center is received from the Village of Cadiz.  The center also receives a portion of the bed tax funding.
