Side Cut is one of nine natural area of the Toledo Metroparks totaling more than 6,700 acres. The Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area, a separate political subdivision of the State of Ohio, was founded in 1928 and is governed by a three-person Board of Park Commissioners who serve without pay. Funding for the operation and improvement of the Metroparks is derived chiefly from voter support of a small property tax levy. At the heart of Side Cut Metropark are the remnants of the old Maumee Side Cut Canal consisting of six limestone locks. In 1843, these connected the main line of the Miami and Erie Canal with the City of Maumee's wharves once located near today's Edison Club. Three complete locks still stand in the Metropark and there size is awesome.

These arrowheads are all original to Ohio and were found within a ten mile radius of my home in Swanton Ohio by me. They represent a diverse history of Northwest Ohio spanning 9,500-500 years of North American history and are my PhotoHunt entry "Original".

Tecumseh Outdoor Drama
I recently attended the Outdoor Drama TECUMSEH at the Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre complex in Chillicothe, Ohio 
and can say without a doubt this drama is the most mesmerizing outdoor drama in the nation. The action and storyline of this chapter of American history makes a very compelling story of one mans struggle to save his people and their heritage. This drama is performed in the very place Tecumseh lived and portrays the hardships and struggles of the Shawnee and the efforts of Tecumseh to secure a lasting peace with the Great White Father. I would strongly recommend this drama to anyone. You will not be disappointed. This drama was simply awesome!
