History

Each possessed an appreciation for the land and a strong work ethic. The Indian mined jasper quarries of the pre-1700’s, the cultivated fertile farms, and the Stahl Pottery Works, started in the mid-1800’s, reflect these characteristics. Jasper Indian artifacts displayed at the township Historical Society and Stahl’s Pottery Preservation Society serve as fitting tributes to the past. These earlier inhabitants appreciated the area’s natural resources, abundant waterways, majestic views, and prime location, just as you do today.
