Ohio has a lot of these roadside historical markers. On this day I decided to stop and look at this one. I find them difficult to read at 60-65 mph. Seems this one was not far from an area where we had a disagreement with the British in the 1812 war.
Also some early pioneer put down roots here. I snaped a few pics of the area. I think there might have been a few more trees here an 1812. I am pretty sure the road was not as nice if a road was even here.
There are one or two of these markers here in the Xenia area. I will get some pictures of these also. In this area the Shawanee Indians had a huge town. Blue Jacket and Simon Kenton lived in this area. Simon Kenton was brought here as a prisoner, he escaped married a local girl, moved to Urbana and is taking a dirt nap in the Urbana Cemetery.
As I travel around I am going to slow down and read a few of these markers. I just might learn something.
