Footpaths to Ancient Campsites in Copley Township, Ohio

Share this article

By Robert Haag, M. Ed.

This beautifully illustrated, 184 page soft-bound monograph contains 200+ photos of artifacts collected by generations of Copley residents and five never-before­published Frank Wilcox revision drawings of the Muskingum, Mahoning, and Cuyahoga war trails that encircle Copley Township. Sixteen color pages of the most interesting and valuable artifacts found in Copley are featured, along with drawings of ancient trails and campgrounds.

Haag, a Copley native, describes the topography of this ancient crossroads, environmental change caused by settlement, and the location of ancient trails and campsites.
