Construction progresses at Mohican State Park’s new visitor center

LOUDONVILLE — The new Mohican State Park Visitor Center is taking shape, bringing an exciting addition to one of Ohio’s most beloved state parks.

Despite winter’s chill, construction crews have continued their work, steadily advancing toward an anticipated late 2025 opening.
 
The ODNR Division of Engineering and construction crews are nearing completion of the truss installation, a key milestone in the project’s progress.

By late February, crews anticipate completing the roofing, bringing the structure closer to its final form.

“We’re thrilled to see this project moving forward, even through the challenges of winter weather,” ODNR Director Mary Mertz said. “The new visitor center will serve as a gateway to Mohican State Park, giving visitors an opportunity to learn about the area’s natural beauty while enhancing their overall park experience.”
 
Strategically located near the park’s main entrance, the new visitor center will be a prominent feature visible from the roadway. Nestled next to the State Scenic Clear Fork of the Mohican River within the floodplain, the site offers a unique blend of natural beauty and accessibility.

The building’s design includes an extended, low-slope ramp leading to the entrance, flanked by educational rain gardens and gathering spaces, providing visitors with interactive and educational opportunities.
 
The visitor center’s grand entrance will feature landscaping to mitigate potential flooding concerns. The space will also feature exterior porches and a fireplace, creating a welcoming space for visitors to relax and enjoy the outdoors year-round.

Inspired by traditional forest lodges, the new visitor center will have olive green exterior siding atop a stone base, reflecting the stone outcroppings found throughout the park. Shaded porches and stone chimneys will add to the building’s inviting, homey ambiance.
 
Inside, the visitor center will offer a central exhibit space flanked by two wings—one housing restrooms and a retail area, the other providing…

Passersby driving through Route 416 in the Town of Montgomery have likely observed a sacred area across the street from Medline’s facility: the town’s African American Cemetery, the resting place for dozens of African Americans, both enslaved and free, who were buried during the 18th and 19th centuries. In honor of these individuals, the Sacred Place of My Ancestors hosted its fifth annual wreath-laying ceremony in the town last Saturday, February 8, featuring several speeches and ample reflection.

Due to icy terrain surrounding the cemetery, most of the ceremony took place in the town…

Busy Monday At Pocono As Season Opener Approaches

The trotters and pacers took their first 2025 spins around the five-eighths-mile oval at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania on Monday morning, Feb. 10.

The conditions were not prime with a “good” track rated at “+1” and later “+2,” but several horses showed they are ready to get the season underway, with the first card scheduled for this Saturday, Feb. 15 at 1 p.m.

Most impressive among the qualifiers was Virgo, an Always A Virgin gelding who concluded a fine 2024 with a 1:50.2 victory on closing day (Dec. 31) at Harrah’s Philadelphia. He looks to extend his form into 2025, and off a front-stepping pacing mile of :30, :58, 1:26.2, and 1:54.1 he seems well on his way to that goal for owners Mark Jakubik and Jason Darling. Virgo was driven by Jim Pantaleano and is trained by Darren Taneyhill, who doubled along with conditioners Lou Pena and Joe Skowyra.

Pantaleano (seventh in the standings at Pocono last year and a two-time winner during this qualifying session) was the only driver outside of 2024’s top five dash-winners to get home first on Monday. Braxten Boyd and Anthony Napolitano each had three triumphs (Napolitano drove the fastest trotter, the Canadian returnee Frank The Elder, who won in 1:57.3 for trainer Deborah Daguet and owner Stephen Klunowski). Meet champion Matt Kakaley had two wins, and Tyler Buter and George Napolitano Jr. each recorded a victory.

A set of six qualifiers was also drawn on Monday to be raced right back at Pocono on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. After this week, qualifiers will be held on Wednesday mornings.

During the busy morning (into afternoon) on the Pocono backstretch. Saturday’s first program of the 2025 campaign was drawn, with those horses…

Scranton’s next mural will commemorate the Lenape indigenous people

Scranton’s next mural downtown will have a Lenape theme, the Lackawanna County Commissioners announced Thursday.

A joint project by the county and the nonprofit Scranton Tomorrow, the mural aims to raise awareness of the history of the indigenous people who first settled the Lackawanna Valley and to acknowledge and honor their legacy.

Titled “Remembrance and Continuance: The Lenape Story in Scranton,” the mural will be painted on the north side of the Brixx Building, 130 N. Washington Ave., which is owned by Art Russo’s ATR Properties.

Commissioners Bill Gaughan, Matt McGloin and Chris Chermak unanimously approved the project Wednesday during their regular meeting, following a presentation by Maureen McGuigan, director of the Department of Arts and Culture.

While most of the historical focus on Lackawanna County is on its major role in anthracite mining and the Industrial Revolution, the mural and programs it will foster will offer opportunities to examine the region’s deeper past.

“Public art like this not only beautifies our communities but also preserves and celebrates our rich cultural heritage. By recognizing the Lenape, we’re acknowledging our past and inspiring a future that values diversity, history, and artistic expression across our county,” Gaughan said in the announcement.

Details of the mural project include:

Native American artist Ben Scott Miller of Lake Placid, Florida, and Miquel Angel Belinchon Bujes, a Spaniard known as Belin, will partner to create the mural. Miller has been certified by the Heard…
