UNVEILING OF THE CRESAP TABLET

UNVEILING OF THE CRESAP TABLET.

 

LOGAN ELM PARK-OCTOBER, 1916.

On Saturday, October 21, 1916, an interesting ceremony

was held at Logan Elm Park, under the auspices of the Ohio

State Archaeological and Historical Society. The program, ar-

ranged by Mr. Frank Tallmadge, comprised the erection of a

flag staff and the unfurling of the stars and stripes; the dedi-

cation of a log cabin, not a modern imitation but a well pre-

served relic of the real thing, a left over of the pioneer days,

secured on a neighboring farm and transported to the Park;

the unveiling of two bronze tablets attached to opposite sides of

a large boulder, firmly placed upon a concrete foundation. The

inscriptions on these two tablets read respectively as follows:
