In the United States (including Ohio), the First Amendment and related jurisprudence guarantee that it isn't illegal to fly any flag, anywhere, with just a few exceptions. The exceptions can be generally categorized as 1) immediate incitements to violence or mischief and 2) obscenity. Unless the confederate flag says "Fire! Run!," says "Rally here to blow up a federal courthouse," or displays child pornography, you're certainly safe from the law. Your friends and neighbors may be another concern.

No, it is not illegal to display a Confederate flag. It is a form of protected speech under the first amendment.
