The Flint Ridge site contains the remains of flint quarry pits used by the ancient peoples of Ohio. The site contains several trails leading past the pits and a museum which has been constructed over one of the original pits. One of the trails is designed to accommodate people with physical handicaps.
Flint from this site was an important trade item. It is so beautiful that it has become Ohio’s state gemstone. You can buy an example of flint jewelry at the museum giftshop.
The site also offers picnic tables, grills, water, and restrooms. The day we visited, a group of people were there practicing spear throwing.
To round out our trip, we visited several Indian Mounds located near Flint Ridge: Huffman (also known as Tippet or Tippett) Mound at the Taft Nature Reserve, Fairmount Mound, and the Dawes Arboretum Mound. And we found a nice family restaurant, Clark’s Dining Room, in Jacksontown where we had lunch.
