LOUDONVILLE, Ohio – Tucked away in southern Ashland County is Ohio’s outdoor adventure center — Mohican country, a mecca for hikers and mountain bikers, canoers, rafters and horseback riders.
And the gateway to all that fun? Tiny Loudonville, population 2,780, a small town with a large embrace of the outdoors.
To be sure, Loudonville isn’t Moab, the fun, funky Utah town between Arches and Canyonlands national parks, a haven for adventure seekers. And north-central Ohio isn’t exactly southeastern Utah.
Still, for outdoor explorers in Ohio, Mohican has long been a top destination. And Loudonville, with its retro downtown and unique places to stay, is part of the reason why.
I’ve been to Loudonville many times over the years, usually a quick stop before or after hiking at Mohican State Park. On this trip, I made the town the focus.
My first stop: The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum, the local history museum, which traces the region’s past from its days as the former hunting grounds of Delaware Indians to the founding of the town in 1814 to the longtime headquarters of the Flxible Co., which first produced motorcycle sidecars, then funeral cars, ambulances and buses before going out of business in 1996.
Mohican State Park, one of Ohio’s first, was originally called Clear Fork State Park, established in 1949, the same year that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was created.
After brushing up on my history and enjoying a tasty lunch at downtown’s Black Fork Bistro, I had some shopping to do. My first stop: Creative Outlet, with a large collection of Native American arts and crafts, including turquoise jewelry, dream catchers, moccasins and a drum circle upstairs. Owner Jill Dunlap regularly travels to New Mexico to replenish her inventory.
Next door is Buzzard’s Family Shoes, a…

NANTICOKE — A formal step was taken last week to begin the Lincoln school demolition process.
On Sept. 11, the Greater Nanticoke Area Board of Education approved a $19,000 quote, in addition to reimbursable expenses, from Quad 3 Architecture Engineering Environmental Services for work related to the demolition of the former Lincoln Elementary School.
Greater Nanticoke Area Superintendent Ronald Grevera said after the Sept. 11 school board meeting that the Quad 3 Architecture, which is based in Wilkes-Barre and Pittsburgh according to its website, would be responsible for preliminary environmental testing and for issuing a request for proposals for the demolition process.
The Greater Nanticoke Area school board first voted in January to authorize the demolition of the former Lincoln Elementary, which sits on Kosciusko Street and was in use as a school from 1913 to 2001.
Grevera has previously said the former school had become an eyesore, potential hazard, and a liability for the district, being vulnerable to relatively frequent burglary while offering the district no operational use.
The roof of the former Lincoln school hosts several small cell phone antennas, which had been installed circa 2010. As the antennas will be decommissioned and removed prior to demolition, there are plans to construct a new cell tower on the Greater Nanticoke Area campus near its softball and football fields, to preclude any loss in cell service.
The city Zoning Hearing Board voted on Aug. 28 to issue developer RiseUp Towers, based in Ambler in Montgomery County, a variance to construct a new, approximately 155-foot-tall cell tower at that site. Verizon and T-Mobile will be carriers associated with the tower, which will have space for two additional carriers.

When in the 1780s Nantucket whalers sought a safe inland harbor for their whaling fleet, they found at Claverack Landing (now Hudson, NY) a port with an already well-established land transportation infrastructure.
The development of these transportation networks over thousands of years by indigenous peoples and then 125 years of Dutch and English settlement influenced the Nantucketer’s selection of this small Hudson River port for their base and continues to shape the region to this day.
On Thursday, October 2, from 6 until 7:30 pm, the Jacob Leisler Institute for the Study of Early New York History, in collaboration with the Hudson Area Library, will host an in-person presentation with Justin Wexler, a local researcher on indigenous peoples, and David William Voorhees, director of the Leisler Institute.
They will be speaking about the infrastructure of waterways and land paths used for trade by the indigenous and the Dutch and English colonists prior to Hudson’s founding.
Wexler will focus on the land and water uses of the Mohican people. Voorhees will address the wagon ways and post roads of the colonial development of Columbia County‘s transportation infrastructure.
Justin Wexler is a life-long resident of the Hudson Valley who has dedicated his life to learning everything he can about the lives, land management practices and ethnoecology of the region’s

Navajo artist and photographer Eugene Tapahe had a dream during the COVID-19 pandemic of women dancing in Yellowstone National Park in jingle dresses, traditional pow wow regalia. From that dream, he started The Jingle Dress Project, photographs of his daughters and two of their friends in various settings, as a gesture of healing and a way to bring attention to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
The exhibit is at the Monroe Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, through September 28. Host Peter O’Dowd speaks with Tapahe and his daughter Dion Tapahe, who appears in the photographs.
