In Somerset, Ohio, a monument erected in 1905 by the State of Ohio honored General Phillip Henry Sheridan, who was raised there, graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1852, served the Federal Army in the Civil War at Stone's River, Missionary Ridge, Yellow Tavern, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Five Forks, and Appomattox, later commanded in the West, became General of the Army in 1883, received his fourth star, and died in 1888; the sculpture by Carl Heber of New York portrays Sheridan's Ride to Winchester, and Somerset citizens paid for the granite base through a children's penny fund. Somerset's 1829 courthouse, begun in 1828 as Perry County's first true courthouse, was joined in 1848 to a completed sandstone jail by a common roof, commands a largely intact agrarian public square typical of the Federal period, is the oldest continuously in service public building in the Old Northwest Territory (1787), exemplifies the Federal style of symmetry, grace, and simple ornamentation common in the Old Northwest and upper Midwest during the first generations of public building erection, has been called a jewel and the finest piece of Federal Heartland Architecture extant, and, after the county seat moved from Somerset in 1857, has housed village offices.
