As a resident of Chillicothe, I am deeply concerned about the potential demolition of a significant part of our town's history - the 1843 Greek Revival house known as the "Old Fox Farm Inn". This historic building has stood for 181 years, bearing witness to countless stories and events that have shaped our community. Its loss would be an irreplaceable blow to our local heritage.

The citizens of Chillicothe, Ross County and Southern Ohio strongly oppose this demolition. We believe in preserving our past for future generations to learn from and appreciate. The Old Fox Farm Inn is not just a building; it is a symbol of our shared history and identity.

We call on city and county governments to recognize the importance of designating and protecting historically significant buildings like this one. These structures are not just bricks and mortar; they are tangible links to who we are as a people.

We also request that local government officials promptly open discussions with the new owner of this historic property. We understand that development is necessary for progress but it should not come at such high cost to our cultural heritage.

Let us stand together in preserving what makes us unique as a community - let us save the Old Fox Farm Inn! Please sign this petition today!
