America 250-Ohio's May theme is Ohio Creates: Arts, Culture, & Literature.

The Shakers are known to have contributed to American culture in many ways – as skilled craftsmen (architecture, furniture, handicrafts) and composers of music and poetry. The Shakers believed that making something well was, in and of itself, an act of prayer.

John Hobart arrived at White Water in 1846 with his wife, Naomi, and eight of their children. Hobart was a talented poet and composed poems on a wide range of topics. At mid-century, he was one of the most prolific composers in the Shaker West. At the close of 1860, most of the Hobart family left White Water, except for John and one daughter. John died in 1866 and is buried at White Water.
