Ohio History

| Carriage Hill Farmhouse |
In 1830, a prosperous family of Virginia decided to move west. Daniel and Catherine Arnold sold their land and loaded their belongings and their five children for a long journey to Ohio. They traveled by ox-drawn wagon and settled on 158 acres near the Mad River, just north of present-day Dayton in western Ohio. Their successful farm stayed in the family til 1910, through four generations, and was eventually purchased by Five Rivers MetroParks of Dayton. And so today, visitors to the Carriage Hill Farm in New Carlisle can see farm life running just as it did 150 years ago. We enjoy this historic farm (less than an hour’s drive from us) every time we visit. Here is a view of the historic farmhouse through the trees.

I guess land was a LITTLE cheaper then!
