Lets Take A Trip To - Fort Recovery, Ohio
Hello there Gilson Tractors Its Gilsons12 here. A little village in Mercer County OH with a lot of history behind it.
The fort begun in late 1793 and completed in March 1794 under orders by General Mad Anthony Wayne. It was located on the site of the present-day village of Fort Recovery, Ohio, United States, on the Wabash River within two miles of the boundary with Indiana.
On 30 June 1794, a supply column left Fort Recovery for Fort Greenville, under the command of Major William McMahon and escorted by ninety riflemen under Captain Asa Hartshome and fifty dragoons under Lieutenant Edmund Taylor. It had only gone about a quarter mile when it was attacked by Indians led by Blue Jacket, including a young Tecumseh.[2] The dragoons cut a retreat back to the fort, losing thirty-two killed (including Captain Hartshome and Cornet Daniel Torrey) and thirty wounded, and inflicting an unknown number of casualties on their attackers.
During the night, a scouting company under Captain William Wells reported that there were British officers behind the Indian lines, and that they had brought powder and cannonballs, but no cannons. The Indians were looking for U.S. cannons that had been buried after St. Clair's Defeat, not knowing that they had already been recovered by the Legion of the United States. The next day, 1 July 1794, the Indians forces attacked the fort again, but they began to withdraw by noon, and they were gone by nightfall.
The monument, in the form of an obelisk, was built in 1912 and dedicated on July 1, 1913. The obelisk stands at 101', 4 tall. It weighs approximately 800 tons and cost $23,700 to build. Today that monument is part of a historical landmark known as Fort Recovery State Memorial that is maintained by the Ohio Historical Society. Visitors can enjoy touring a replica of Wayne's fort with two reconstructed blockhouses with a connecting stockade.
Cannonballs left over from Fort Recovery, now seen at the replica. Cannonballs can also be found around the village in many locations, including private property.
The Fort Recovery State Museum, opened in 1938, features life-size dioramas of fort soldiers and Indians of the period. Exhibits explain Wayne's campaign and include military and Indian artifacts, uniforms, weapons, paintings and maps. The museum features a gift shop and offers programs for school groups.
Exploring Abandoned Railroad Station And This Happened!
Exploring an historic abandoned train station. This is a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad depot along a short line railroad spur. The roof is falling in, the windows are broken out and the inside is vandalized. Indiana & Ohio Railway operates this branch line to Greenfield Ohio and the city of Greenfield owns the track. While I was exploring the train station a short local freight train came by on its way from Greenfield to Blanchester, Ohio. This station is in Leesburg Ohio. I also show the dilapidated train station in nearby Midland. The locomotive is seen stopping in Blanchester to end its work day. The train runs to Greenfield on Thursdays. Filmed Thursday; July 5 , 2018. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and SUBSCRIBE TO JAWTOOTH!!

An Afternoon on the Iron Triangle: Part 2 Picking up speed
CLICK HERE FOR PART 2:
July 30th my father and I were to go look at a car in Findlay, agreeing to stop in Fostoria for some railfanning. This was our first time in the Iron Triangle and the agreement to stay for a couple hours turned into the rest of the day when the Conrail Heritage Unit was coming down the line!
Part 2 Highlights more CSX action with freight trains passing by, the road switchers from part 1 finally move North. The highlight is at the end when TWO Norfolk Southern freight trains raced westbound together. It was by far one of the best freight train movements I've ever recorded.
