Connected by the Kokosing

The “River of the Little Owls," and the communities found along it, have shaped much of Kenyon's sense of place.

“We are like Kokosing,” goes one of Kenyon’s favorite songs. Indeed, the College’s Knox County setting takes much of its character from the 57-mile Kokosing River, with two branches threading the landscape through towns, farms and forest, connecting people — and their work and play — with place.

To capture this broader sense of belonging, we asked photographer Rebecca Kiger to explore some of the communities on or near the Kokosing this past September.
