Here’s a great video of High Street from Campus to the Short North. The video is a drone flyover taken in 2018. It gives a fantastic view of all the new development built in the last decade.

Photo Location: Broad and High
Photo Date: Sometime in 1849
Photo History: This photo, one of the earliest ever known to have been taken in Columbus, shows a group of bystanders looking at several people on horseback. The year this was taken, 1849, is significant in that it references the events taking place. 1849, of course, was the year that gold was discovered in California. The men on horseback are 49-ers, getting ready to depart Columbus to join the great California Gold Rush, and the crowd was gathered to see them off.

Unfortunately, not much else is known about the photo, who the people were, or in what direction the photo was even taken.
