The Walhonding Valley Railroad is a thing of the past...but the landscape through which it ran remains some of the most striking and beautiful in Ohio--including the famous “Devil’s Backbone”.
So come with us for a little walk--a leisurely mile or so (with an optional additional mile or two for more ambitious hikers).
Learn about the valley’s geology and geography, the Wally Railroad, its complicated construction, a few key events from the area’s history (including at least one spectacular de-railment and several floods), and enjoy the autumn landscape.
Local historian David Greer and other guides will be on hand to greet guests, answer questions, and launch the self-guided tour. Guided tours will be offered at 1:00 and at 2:30 p.m.
Bring a friend. And wear comfortable shoes.
