Wildflowers abound along the Conotton Creek Trail which meanders through Harrison County, connecting Bowerston, Jewett, Conotton and Scio. Visitors can hike or bike along the 11-1/2 mile trail that winds through the rolling hills of central Ohio.
The trail is a multi-use paved rail trail winding by the Conotton Creek, a stream that ultimately flows through the Muskingum River Valley to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Visitors can enjoy a summer day riding bikes along one of the best trails in the State of Ohio.
After a hike or bicycle ride visit many other attractions in the area:
The Dennison Depot became famous during World War II, when thousands of soldiers stopped there as they made their way across the country. Located midway between Pittsburgh and Columbus over 1.5 million soldiers were served sandwiches, coffee and doughnuts by volunteers who gave their time and precious food rations to feed and cheer up lonely, homesick young G.I's.
Although it was officially called a Canteen, the soldiers named it Dreamsville, and many return to visit every year. Today the Dennison Railroad Depot contains a museum with miniature railroad displays, WWII relics and tributes to the Canteen, and it's still a great place to stop for lunch along the way.
Ernest (Mooney) Warther was a Master Carver and his Museum located in Dover exhibits his finest work. On display are Warther's carved steam engines of ebony and ivory - considered to be the finest in the world, along with other works of this Master Carver.
Visitors marvel at all of the collections in the Museum which features 5,000 arrowheads, a working knife shop, an extensive gift shop and Freda Warther's button collection containing over 73,000 buttons of all shapes and designs.
The Warther Museum is located just off Interstate 77 on Ninth Street in Dover, Ohio. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information call 330-343-7513 or visit www.warthers.com.
Stop in for lunch or dinner on the banks of the Tuscarawas River at Raven's Glen Winery, one of Ohio's most picturesque wineries. Enjoy tasting wine samples in their beautiful Tuscan-style Tasting Room, then head outside to enjoy dinner in their outdoor dining area, located right on the river banks.
The restaurant has a definite Italian flavor, and many of the recipes are old family favorites. Raven's Glen Winery is located at 56183 Columbus Road 143 - also known as U.S. 36, just 7 minutes from exit 65 of Interstate 77. For reservations call 740-545-1000.
While you are in the area be sure to see Trumpet in the Land, an outdoor drama that opened for its 40th season this year at the Schoenbrunn Amphitheatre just outside New Philadelphia. The story, which takes place during the Revolutionary War, plays out on a large outdoor stage with horses, Native Americans, and both British and American soldiers. Gun battles and flames are all part of the spectacle. For tickets to this outdoor drama call 330-339-1132 or visit www.trumpetintheland.com.
