Upcoming Program:
COVALT’S STATION: an Ohio Frontier Settlement
with author Stephen Early
Sunday, April 21st, 4:30 p.m.
the Little Red Schoolhouse, 8100 Given Rd, 45243
Members $55 / Non-Members $65
Local history is the topic as author Steven Early presents his research and book about Covalt’s Station, Amid the Honorable Plenty. In 1790, 45 white settlers traveled up the Little Miami River to establish Covalt’s Station in today’s Terrace Park. The land they claimed was used as seasonal hunting grounds by the Miami and Shawnee Native Americans.
This is a story of the bloodshed, creation, and destruction which occurred when these cultures collided as one empire began, and another began to disappear.
A brief Annual Meeting of The Indian Hill Historical Society will be held at the start of the program, and a delicious dinner will be served after the presentation.
