But there is still history all around if we know where to look. Located south of Dayton, SunWatch is the best-known Fort Ancient Indian village in the United States. On the other side of the state, Marietta is the oldest permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory. About fifty miles southeast of Cincinnati, antebellum Ripley grew to prominence as a bastion of abolitionism. Dennison, also known as Dreamsville, was born virtually overnight thanks to the railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker reveal twenty-one communities where the Ohio story can still be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA graduate of Miami and Ohio State Universities, David Meyers has written numerous local histories, as well as works for the stage and a handful of historical novels, including \u003cem\u003eHello, I Must Be Going\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBall of Confusion\u003c\/em\u003e.
