john hunt morgan heritage trail

Heritage Park, 11405 E Miami River Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45252, is located along side the Great Miami River, off the Miami River Rd. On July 13, 1863, Gen. John Hunt Morgan's Division entered Ohio by crossing the Whitewater River at Harrison, after raiding portions of Kentucky and Indiana. Heritage Park preserves the area over which his men rode their horses, as they circled around Cincinnati that afternoon and night, to avoid the Union garrison under Gen. Burnside. The park also contains a pioneer graveyard, the site of Dunlap's Station, an early stockade, and has ample recreation opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, baseball, hiking, and has a children's playground as well.You could not pick a more beautiful spot for a picnic, or a spot so filled with history.

This is a beautiful drive through north central Kentucky. Will be back for next years 150 anniversary of his trail through Kentucky to Ohio.
