It’s hammer time, so to speak. Not far from the Supreme Court of Ohio, resides a giant sculpture synonymous with the court system. The giant gavel can be found inside the reflecting pool outside the supreme court building. The piece was commissioned by the Ohio State Bar Association and weighs around 17,000 pounds. 

Know Before You Go

There's plenty of metered parking along the streets in this area and the gavel is easy to see from your vehicle.
