Wintergarden Park

Wintergarden was a fantastic experience! We had perfect day and a great guide. Roger was wonderful and because he has a lot of knowledge about nature and history of the area, he was able to help us gain a deeper understanding of the Great Black Swamp, which was our focus for the week. We explored oak savannas and dry swamp land. Mosquitos were also along for the ride! We experienced some of what the early settlers of the region must have experienced. So would you have liked to have been one of the firstsettlers to the area? What special tools may you have needed to survive here in the Great Black Swamp? Remember that Native Americans did not live in the swamp. They did, however, use Sand Ridge Road as a trail around the swam. Did you notice any changes in soil or terrain while you walked around the park? Please post your comments as we consider this portion of Northwest Ohio's History.
