1953 - A Geauga County flag was chosen through a countywide contest held during
Ohio's Sesquicentennial. The original flag is framed and exhibited on the first
floor of the Courthouse. The "Stars and Maple Leaf" was designed by Chardon
resident, 15 year old Ray Diedrich. The flag was restored to Geauga County in
1995 by Diedrich's sister, Jane Diedrich Peterson, and rededicated by the Geauga
County Commissioners. A reproduction of the flag flies on designated holidays
and special occasions on the William Burns Memorial Flagpole on the Courthouse
lawn.
