BE PROUD FAIRFIELD COUNTY & LANCASTER,OHIO
TO EXPLORE THE WORLD VISIT THAT’S MY WORLD TUESDAY
A SHORT DRIVE FROM LANCASTER,OHIO WE HAVE
ON UP THE TRAIL TO THE INDIAN MOUND.
“The mound is cross-shaped and about 90 feet across with a circular depression, 20 feet wide and 12 inches deep”The age and cultural affiliation of the Tarlton Cross Mound is not known. The cross symbol, however, was used extensively during the Mississippian period to represent the Sun. It is therefore possible that it was built by the contemporary Fort Ancient culture.” To me it looked like the cross was built north/south and east/west. I didn’t have compass with me so I don’t know for sure.
WHAT IS THIS? VOTE YES FOR ISSUE 14 AND MAYBE WE CAN FIND OUT.
BY VOTING YES ON ISSUE 14 WE CAN HOPEFULLY UNLOCK THE GATE
AFTER THE PICNIC DON’T FORGET TO STOP AT DURGIN’S PLACE IN TARLTON FOR ICE CREAM DURGIN’SHAS BEEN CLOSED FOR A COUPLE YEARS BUT WAS REOPENED BY DEE ROSS THE NEW OWNER
What an interesting post for My World today, Joe! Love your photos and it does look like a great place to walk and picnic. I hope Issue 14 passes so people can enjoy it again! Have a great week!

It looks like a lovely park. I hope that Issue 14 passes.
ReplyDeleteIhate it when parks close and we've seen in happen in so many areas as we've traveled. Again, I sure hope the Measure passes. It would be so shortsided of people to vote against the parks.
ReplyDeleteLovley park!! I really hope that issue 14 passes.
ReplyDeleteJoe: I have a hard time understanding why people would ruin a park for everyone. Some people are just selfish.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad about the vandalism. I hope the issue 14 passes, it looks like a lovely park.
ReplyDeleteI hope that park re-opens...it is one beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteTheir is a Fort Ancient near Lebanon, Ohio. Went there is the '60s with a college beau. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI hate when things closed! Here in VA they closed lots of rest stops on the interstates last year. This year our new governor re-opened them and we have noticed on our recent trip to VA Beach that these rest areas are filled with travelors. When you got to go you got to go! LOL!
That's a very beautiful place. A beautiful landscape.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the park. Very lovely place to picnic.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the park and bridge.

I keep meaning to buy a compass for my wanderings about. Good luck on this project. Can't have too many parks. Thank you for visiting My Muskoka !
ReplyDeleteWe have a state park here, which we love!! Hope your park is reopened.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe, It's raining at the beach today--so this gives me an opportunity to catch up with some blogging, some reading and some SLEEPING.. ha ha (What a life!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat park... Hope that county can get it opened back up..
Hope you are having a good week. TN got tons of flooding over the weekend, but our area is okay. I just feel sorry for those in Nashville.

Wonderful place, amazing photos!!!
