This marker may not still be in place. Based on notation on a post about the referenced video: The First Principal Meridian Marker has a fascinating history that very few people know about. This is one of 3 State line markers along the Ohio/Indiana border. Three weeks after we produced this video, the marker was knocked down by a passing truck. Although the marker wasn’t damaged, when the road crew was up righting the marker, it cracked in half and is now in storage at a Hamilton County maintenance garage. The date of the post is unclear.
