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.
You definitely picked a good day for a hike.
Very nice!
Looks like such a nice day. I can't believe there is no snow. Please take some our snow - ha!
OOOH i'm all about state parks and supporting them. we have SO many good ones here in NYS. I've been to so many of them (minus the ones down by NYC...we despise that area so don't go often). Is this anywhere near Columbus? a good friend of mine is a retired minister/camp director and she moved to Columbus. She's always been single and loves taking her dog to parks. I'll have to tell her about this one. Loved your photos!
It is good to see you out and about checking out your new area. Looks like a very nice park!
