September 3, 1925 – The dirigible U.S.S. Shenandoah was colossal at 680 feet long and 93 feet high. It was on a tour of Noble County when it encountered a violent updraft, which tore it apart. Fourteen people died but 29 survived after a harrowing few miles as the nose bumped along at treetop level. A monument and trailer/museum is in Ava with a marker four miles west of I-77 at exit 25 on Ohio 78.
