Last week, Preservation Ohio Board member Cyndie Gerken (pictured) and Director of Development, Marian Vance, joined their fellow Trustees of the Ohio National Road Alliance on the Board’s “Rolling Retreat.”  Marian shares the following:

“Included below are pictures from the Ohio National Road Alliance’s Rolling Retreat on the east portion of the National Road.  If was held on Tuesday, March 24, leaving Reynoldsburg early in the morning, traveling to Wheeling Island, and returning.

Doug Smith, Ed Wagstaff and Elizabeth Reeb were our tour guides.

Favorite stops on the tour included buried stone bridges, brick pavement on the road and the road’s famous “S” bridges.  The Trustees heard stories of local lore and saw historic treasures, some being restored and others losing the battle to time and the elements.

Traveling old Route 40 is a step back in time.”
