January 16, 2025

 In November, The Professor and I drove about an hour to visit a new to us state park.  Salt Fork State Park.   It was a perfect day for hiking.  Sunny, dry, not too cold.  The area of the park was originally owned by a family named Kennedy who built a lovely stone house and farmed the land which included a creek running through the property.  In the 1960s, they sold the land to the state because of plans to dam the creek and create a lake.  Today, Salt Fork State Park is the largest park in Ohio.





Not a great photo of Kennedy Stone House.  We didn't want to interrupt a family photo shoot...  Kennedy Stone House is on the National Register of Historical Places. 


The day we visited it  was closed, so we plan to return and tour the house when we know it will be open to visitors.

Such a beautiful area. I hope when you return to visit inside the house that you will be able to take pictures. It's definitely beautiful on the outside.
