Within their chosen professions, these distinguished citizens made significant contributions towards life and liberties during our nation's formative years that reached far beyond the geographical boundaries of Clermont County. Each of them was born within or closely associated with our county. Diverse in culture, education, religion, politics and profession, the influence of these great Americans has sustained the test of time. In Clermont County, we take great pride in our people and our places, and perhaps this is why we fly our flags so high.
