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 and, natural, historic and/or features:
“If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“Knowledge has two extremes. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great minds, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same natural ignorance from which they set out; this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
