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).
