Natural and Historic Features
Olde North Columbus includes Slate Run, the Olentangy River (at one time called "Whetstone River"), both the Iuka and Glen Echo Ravines, and other naturally beautiful features. There are also several historic neighborhoods and buildings, including the 1806 Beers log cabin, built three years after Ohio became a state, the site of the 1814 Wilcox/Piatt/Hess/Minot Mill (only the platform on which it sat, northeast of the West Dodridge Street Bridge, remains), a horse/wagon hitch on E. Maynard Avenue, the 19th and 20th century Union Cemetery (corner of W. Dodridge Street and Olentangy River Road) and the Civil War Site, Camp Thomas (approx. East Avenue to Adams Avenue, Arcadia Avenue to Maynard Avenue).

Famous quotes containing the words natural, historic and/or features:
“Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on.... The small landowners are the most precious part of a state.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
