On the banks of the the Scioto

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 1, 2021 - 12:46pm

FROM ADA ICON - While many have forgotten the second war for independence from the British, there is a local reminder.

During the War of 1812, Fort McArthur was established on the banks of the Scioto River several miles east of McGuffey and Foraker.

That site is now preserved as a small cemetery for American soldiers who fought in the war. 

The Hardin County Museum and Historical Society cares for the cemetery and made sure it was ready for Memorial Day. These photos help us remember.
