The purpose of this article is to advise residents on how to best access the Ranger Station and Administration Offices over the next 15 months. The first phase of the project will begin shortly after November 1, 2008, and this will involve drilling 30 geothermal wells in the existing parking lot. This drilling work will take approximately three weeks to complete, and parking will be very limited during this time. Residents are encouraged to use the parallel parking spaces along Drake Road when visiting the Rangers or the Administrative Offices. Parking will be even more limited once the actual building construction begins in January. Public parking will be available in the small Phinney House parking area and along Drake Road, but the rear parking area will be limited to contractor parking and material staging. Employees will be parking at Drake Road Park and Stephan Field for the duration of the project. There will also be a number of office relocations which will take place during the project. Most notably, the current Ranger Offices will be vacated during the latter two weeks in November. The dispatch area will be relocated to an area just off the main building lobby. The dispatchers will be accessible via a temporary window in the lobby. The Ranger Administrative Offices and the Patrol Division will relocate to Council Chambers on the second floor of the building. The Detective Division will relocate to the Phinney House. Council meetings and Planning Commission meetings will be moved to the Madeira & Indian Hill Fire House beginning with the December sessions in order to clear the space for use by the Rangers. Recreation Commission and Green Areas Advisory Committee meetings will be accommodated in the Phinney House during the duration of the project. The Ranger building additions and renovations will be completed during the first phase of the project, and once this work is completed, the Administrative Offices will move upstairs to allow for the completion of the second phase of the project. This work will include the construction of a new handicapped accessible Council Chambers and a renovation of the existing office space. All the improvements are expected to be completed in early 2010. All existing phone numbers and email contact information will not change during the construction project. Additional information on the project is available by calling George Kipp, Village Project Manager, at 5616500. CONSIDERATION OF ANDERSON TOWNSHIP MINE PROPOSAL EXTENDED TO ADDITIONAL HEARINGS Village officials attended the October 15, 2008 Anderson Township Board of Zoning Appeals (ATBZA) hearing regarding a request for a conditional use permit and related variances required to allow Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. to operate a deep limestone mine in the vicinity of Round Bottom Road and Broadwell Road in Anderson Township. This hearing, which was a continuation of an October 2, 2008 hearing, lasted nearly 6 hours, and the ATBZA adjourned still having only heard a portion of the Martin Marietta presentation. The October 15th meeting involved testimony by Martin Marietta expert witnesses on mine blasting and hydrology, and cross examination by attorneys representing the neighboring communities of the Village of Indian Hill, Terrace Park, and Newtown, and attorneys representing residents of Anderson Township. Representatives from Union Township, Clermont County also expressed concerns about the transport of blasting materials through Union Township to the mine site. The meeting was adjourned with Martin Marietta still scheduled to put on 3-4 more expert witnesses before any opposing testimony will be considered by the ATBZA. OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 4 The ATBZA has set three additional hearing dates in order to hear the rest of the Martin Marietta presentation, other proponent testimony, and opponent testimony. Given the level of interest in the case, and the pace of the presentations and cross examinations, it is anticipated that a decision on the requests will not be made until sometime in December. The additional hearing dates are November 6, 2008, November 19, 2008, and December 4, 2008. All the ATBZA meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. and are held in the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Anderson Township 45230. Village officials and our legal counsel will continue to attend the hearings and express our concerns about noise, truck traffic, light pollution, and dust pollution. We will also continue to advise residents of the status of the case and any related Village actions in direct mailings to south Indian Hill neighborhoods, future Bulletin articles, and on the Village webpage: www.ihill.org. Any questions about the current status of the case may be directed to the City Manager’s office, 561-6500. ROWE ARBORETUM NEWS Hurricane Ike Update Thanks to a sizable donation and some volunteering from one of our frequent visitors, and some speedy responses by a couple of tree service people, we were able to reopen the Arboretum to the public in rather quick order. Due to a few partially downed trees hanging precariously up in others we had to close the Arboretum for a few days. This combined with a number of pathways blocked by other downed trees and brush made the collections unsafe for visitors. We hope this didn’t inconvenience anyone including those trying to get in the gate when the power was out. A total of 17 trees over 40’ were totally lost with many other smaller specimens damaged or destroyed. One bright side to all of this is we now have some new spaces for new plant acquisitions. Workers from Fred J. Hensley Sr. Arborists and from Nature’s Touch responded in getting the hazardous trees taken care of quickly and gave the Arboretum a discount when they could have charged us the going rate during the storm’s aftermath. We thank them for their consideration and their efforts to help get the gardens back in order. One of our neighbors contributed funds to help with the costs of the clean up. We really appreciated their concerns and with their donation we will be able to continue with the professional tree services we need to properly prune the damaged specimens. The donation will also allow us to replant new specimens to replace those lost. If you would like to help us in our efforts to restore the collections and plant new specimens to replace those lost, please send your contributions to: The Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum, 4600 Muchmore Rd., 45243. We thank you for your consideration and all contributions will be acknowledged with a thank you letter for your taxdeductible donation. Tree of the Month Normally we describe a particular specimen growing at the Arboretum that maybe deserves a little more attention from our visitors. Given the recent storm one is more apt to talk about any tree which survived September 14. Here at the Rowe we are glad to have on display over 1400 different kinds of trees and shrubs and they are all special in some respects. A visit to our gardens now will allow you to see many specimens that withstood the storm with flying colors. Please come and enjoy the solitude of the Arboretum and see for yourself the beauty of the trees that are still standing. Although the collecting of specimens has been going on here for over 82 years, there are trees that are much older than that. You too may have such trees in your own yard. We invite you to get out this fall and enjoy our woody companions no matter where they are located, and you pick one that is your own ‘tree of the month’. OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 5 Bird Walk, Sat. Sept. 27, 2008 8AM at the Rowe Arboretum, Sponsored by the GAAC We had a windy warm morning for our bird walk at the Rowe Arboretum. And we had quite a group show up. There were about 10 of us and we were led by Bob Foppe, Jr. our birder, and Chris Daeger our plant specialist. We didn’t have a whole lot of bird activity. We saw and heard from Red Bellied woodpeckers, and Carolina chickadees, a few Cardinals and some Robins. Although we did not have that many birds to look at we got an education about local plants from Chris. Wow what an education. It was a fun morning and thanks to all who participated. Bob Foppe has offered to take us on another bird walk in January at Grand Valley. Look for info regarding a date and time. We look forward to seeing you again. We plan to do another bird walk at Rowe Arboretum in the future. Happy Birding. Natalie Nesbitt, GAAC, Education Committee CCD Environmental Council Provides Recycling Receptacles for Stephan Park Playground Through their Internal Grant Fund, Cincinnati Country Day School’s Environmental Council has graciously provided two recycling receptacles for Stephan Park’s playground area. The receptacles are located at two locations on the outside of the playground, adjacent to areas with picnic tables. They are identified by “Recycling Receptacle” signs and are designed to accommodate plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Thank you to the CCDS Environmental Council for their help making recycling available at the park and creating recycling awareness for our park users. The above picture features CCDS 1st grade students (left to right) James Johnston, Brian Butler, Miles Longevin, Marian Edmonson, Lucy Martin, and Joshua Nixon. Paula Butler, a CCDS faculty member, received the grant for the project. OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 6 Introducing The Indian Hill/Kenwood/Camp Dennison Scout Emergency Response Team (SERT) What is a SERT? The Scout Emergency Response Team (SERT) is a group of qualifying and trained senior Boy Scouts and Venture Crew members who respond in an organized fashion to emergencies and disasters in their own home town or neighborhood. What will a SERT Member Do? It will vary with the nature of the emergency. In general the SERT Team members will execute a pre-planned effort in their own neighborhood to assist and support the elderly and disabled who may have difficulty coping with the effects of extreme weather or unexpected disaster. SERT Team members will have a list of elderly or disabled individuals in their own neighborhoods to check on and assist (deliver food, drinking water or blankets) in a crisis or assist in cleanup after a crisis. The SERT Team member may also be responsible for reporting on conditions to the local emergency responders when the situation warrants additional expertise or attention. Why form or join a SERT? Because it’s the right thing to do. As we have seen over and over whether it’s the Blue Ash Tornado of the late 1990’s or Hurricane Katrina. Our local first responders (fire fighters, police and EMT’s) will likely need help in a large-scale crisis. I ask who would be better positioned than a group of senior scouts? They are trained in first aid, dealing with hazardous outdoor conditions, and dedicated to community service? How will first responders and community members recognize a SERT member? SERT members will carry out their duties in Class-A uniforms and may be issued special SERT team caps, windbreakers and/or armbands. If you are interested in being included on a list of local residents who like the help of local Boy Scouts during the next weather related or general community emergency please call the number below. We will then arrange a “fair weather” introduction to the Boy Scout(s) who are likely to assist you in a crisis so you can become familiar with one another before the need for support arises. Dave Turner Troop 243 Scoutmaster (513)314-6027 OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 7 Indian Hill Church Art Show Offers New Features and Benefits Many The Indian Hill Church Art Show, a highlight in the Cincinnati arts season, will feature more talent than ever this year with over 100 artists offering work in various styles of paintings in oils, acrylics, pastels, fluorescents, and watercolors, as well as other materials. Masterpieces in photography, sculpture, pottery, woodworking, handpainted furniture, note cards, stained glass, fiber art and jewelry will also be for sale. The Seventh Annual Show will be held at the Indian Hill Church, 6000 Drake Road, on Friday, November 14 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday, November 15 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. This show is one of the most popular fundraisers as well as a fabulous shopping opportunity just in time for the holiday season. Last year the show sold nearly $60,000 in artwork with thirty percent of these proceeds going to the Church’s Outreach Programs. The 2008 programs that will benefit from this show are the Hamilton County Youth Center, Inter-Faith Hospitality Network, Inter-Parish Ministry and Mission to Mexico. “This year we have a spectacular array of area talent. From contemporary & traditional art, to exquisite jewelry, sculpture, pottery, stationary, photography, and fiber art, you will be sure to find something that fits your taste and budget. Over the years, the Show has become a wonderful event for the Church and the Community to come together for a great time while supporting community outreach efforts and local artists. There will be over 30 new artists and lots of new work on display. If you have never been, we hope you will join us this fun event,” comments Pam Middendorff, Chair of the Show. New for 2008 A Saturday opening, complimentary valet parking on Friday evening, new artists, as well as an expanded silent auction are going to make this 2008 event very special. New Saturday hours offer folks who want a second look or those who cannot attend on Friday an additional opportunity to view the art. Valet parking on Friday will make everyone’s evening more enjoyable without the worry of crowded parking lots and long walks. And the increased number of artists provides a greater range of choices. Twenty-five of these very talented artists have kindly agreed to donate their artwork for the silent auction. As a special treat, the internationally renowned Indian Hill artist, Leslie Shiels, has graciously donated an original Remarque sketch from her new book, Indian Hill, A Point of View. The Remarque is part of a series of sketches drawn with an old crow quill pen dipped in India ink. The series, which grace the inner lining of the book, are “whimsical, humorous, poignant, nostalgic, familiar and elusive” scenes from the Village and serve as a counterbalance to the 45 beautiful oil paintings included in the Leslie Shiels book. The Indian Hill Historical Society will be on hand selling this landmark book that includes a richly historic and entertaining commentary written by IHC congregation member, William (“Billy”) Chatfield. We are very honored to offer this limited edition book at the Show as it is normally available only through the Historical Society and is sure to sell out soon.

OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE10 Indian Hill residents among tennis hall of fame enshrinees Indian Hill residents Carl Lindner and Rich Lindner were among those enshrined into the 2008 class of the Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame. The chairman of the Hall of Fame, Indian Hill resident Jim Farley, enshrined the Lindners on Center Court during the recent Western & Southern Financial Group Masters in Mason. Rich Lindner was represented during the ceremony by his daughter, Char Lindner. “Carl and Rich Lindner have quietly but passionately supported tennis in Cincinnati for decades,” Farley said. “Several tennis venues in the city bear the name Lindner, exemplifying their love of the game of tennis, and both men have been ardent supporters of Cincinnati’s international tennis tournament for many years.” Also enshrined were Loveland resident Jeff Wolf and Charles Thomas, who now lives in Virginia. Wolf holds the tournament records for singles titles (six) and doubles titles (15) at the Thomas E. Price Cincinnati Metropolitan Adult Championship. He played tennis and basketball collegially at Rollins College before touring on the pro tennis circuit. Wolf also played in the Challenger event for Cincinnati international tennis tournament and in qualifying four times for the main draw in the early 1990s. Thomas was a top-ranked player in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. He is second only to fellow Hall of Famer Marty Wolf in singles finals appearances at the Thomas E. Price Cincinnati Metropolitan Adult Championship, and was ranked in the top 10 in the Midwest in 1955.

OCTOBER 31, 2008- INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 17 BETTS HOUSE FOUNDER MARTHA TUTTLE DIES AT AGE 92 On September 25, 2008, Cincinnati lost a hero of the local historic preservation movement, Martha Tuttle. In the late 1980s, Mrs. Tuttle ventured into a long neglected part of town to see the house where her mother was born. The Betts House, built in 1804 by Mrs. Turtle’s great-great-grandfather William Betts, was in a state of utter disrepair. Shocked and saddened at the condition of the house, she made it her mission to save it; not only because of her personal ties to the house, but also because of its importance in Cincinnati’s history - as the oldest house in Cincinnati still on its original site and the oldest brick house in the state of Ohio. In 1981, the city of Cincinnati acquired the Betts House, along with many others in the Betts-Longworth Historic District, with the hopes of encouraging developers to create an economically and racially mixed community. Instead, many properties sat vacant, continuing to deteriorate. Mrs. Tuttle had followed these developments and in 1987 started writing letters to city and state officials asking for their help in saving the house. In 1988 the city revoked development rights on the Betts House and several others, allowing other individuals and groups to step in and start anew. Mrs. Tuttle worked with the Ohio chapter of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America and fifteen partners to save the Betts House. She raised funds and support for the restoration. A hands-on advocate, Mrs. Tuttle visited the work site every week and was involved in every decision. At the end of this arduous process, the Betts House was not only restored, but it received awards from Greater Cincinnati Beautiful and the Miami Purchase Association, and was selected for the 1990 American Society of Interior Designers Decorator Designer Show House and Garden Tour. Mrs. Tuttle was not content to preserve the house as a historic home; she wanted something more for this historic site to preserve it for the future. After speaking with museum and preservation professionals, she decided on establishing a museum dedicated to the study of building materials and traditions. The Colonial Dames retained ownership of the property, but the museum would be operated by the Betts House Research Center, a newly formed non-profit organization. After years of effort, writing hundreds of letters, and quite likely many sleepless nights, Martha’s dream was realized. In 1996 the Betts House Research Center opened its doors as a museum. Martha served as President of the Board of Trustees for several years before turning over the leadership of the organization. Sally Connelly, NSCDA Ohio President recalls, “Martha had a deep impact on our whole city and is an example of an extraordinary woman whose vision became a reality. She was the heart and soul of the Betts House. Today the Society continues her work as stewards of the Betts House and we are proud to carry this distinguished member’s legacy.” In the years that followed, the Betts House has hosted exhibits on brick, cast iron, fireplaces and windows. In recent years it has expanded its focus to include historic preservation with exhibits on lost and endangered Cincinnati buildings. Through it all, the inspiration of Martha Tuttle has guided the organization. Were it not for her love, commitment, and sense of history, this special place may have been lost. Now it is a resource for the community to enjoy. Robert Dorsey, former president of the Betts House board, said, “Martha was a woman of vision. She was motivated to save the house and upgrade the entire neighborhood. Twenty years later, the Betts House is a thriving institution and the neighborhood is stable and improving.” In addition to her love of history, Mrs. Tuttle was also sincerely interested in the natural world. According to Dr. Eric Lentz, Executive Director of Cincinnati Center for Field Studies, “Martha was one of our first contributors to the UC Field Station. Her donation set up a strategic planning exercise that really gave direction to the formation of what is now the Cincinnati Center for Field Studies.” Martha Tuttle is survived by her children Elisabeth Tuttle Miller of Maysville, Kentucky and Richard Tuttle, Jr. of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and her granddaughter Martha McCrea Tuttle Andersen, also of Colorado Springs. Mrs. Tuttle was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Tuttle, Sr., and two of her children, Martha Tuttle and Capt. McCrea Benedict Tuttle. Her funeral was held on September 30, 2008 at the Norman Chapel of Spring Grove Cemetery. If so desired, memorials may be made to the Betts House Research Center, 416 Clark Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45203. ABOUT THE BETTS HOUSE Built in 1804, the Betts House, Ohio’s oldest brick house, is located in the Betts-Longworth Historic District in downtown Cincinnati. The Betts House Research Center was established to promote the study of building materials and historic preservation through special exhibits and public programs. Tours of the house showcase its history and construction. An ongoing exhibit features a timeline of the house paired with the history of Cincinnati and the nation. The current exhibit - Great Cincinnati Families at Home - is on view through October 30, 2008. The Betts House also supports the fields of construction and architecture with a summer outreach program, Bond at the Betts, providing youth from inner-city neighborhoods a hands-on introduction to the building trades. OCTOBER 31, 2008 – INDIAN HILL BULLETIN – PAGE 18 VISITOR INFORMATION The Betts House is located two blocks west of Music Hall at 416 Clark Street. Parking is available on Clark Street, John Street, Central Avenue, and the Town Center Garage on Central Parkway behind Music Hall.

Built in 1804 it is located in the Betts-Longworth Historic District in the city’s West End. In 1995 the oldest surviving brick building in Cincinnati became the “Betts House Research Center,” a place dedicated to the study of building materials and traditions. This remarkable survivor of Cincinnati’s period of settlement serves as a valuable resource and artifact for the study of early building materials and architecture. Cincinnati Country Day School Homecoming is Fantastic Cincinnati Country Day School celebrated Homecoming, andAlumni ReunionWeekend on September 26-27.The celebration started with a traditional student pep rally on Friday afternoon and culminated in class reunions on Saturday, September 27th. After the pep rally, students were treated to the traditional Fall Fest celebration where they participate in numerous carnival games, both indoors and out. They also enjoyed delicious treats from the bake sale and catered food from a variety of Cincinnati restaurants. Fall Fest is sponsored by the CCDS Parents’ Association under the guidance of President Ginger Kielarowski of Mason and is co-chaired by CCDS parents Lisa Hall of Symmes Township and Tracy Barton Ramirez ‘88 of Indian Hill. As Fall Fest came to a close on Friday evening, the Alumni Reception began in the historic Broadwell House. The Broadwell House is the former headmasters’ house at the entrance to the School’s 62-acre campus. The reception provided alumni the opportunity to reconnect with classmates, current and former teachers and administrators. The reception drew over 200 people and the crowd mingled both inside and on the lawn. After the reception, the Homecoming football game against Summit began. The stands were filled to capacity while hundreds of additional fans watched the game from the sidelines. At halftime, CCDS Athletic Director Theresa Hirschauer of Mt. Washington served as commentator, introducing the CCDS Distinguished Alumnus, Athletic Hall of Fame honorees, and 21 individual CCDS State Champions in Swimming, Track, and Tennis. They entered the stadium in convertibles and CCDS Head of School, Dr. Robert Macrae of Indian Hill welcomed them. The 2008 CCDS Distinguished Alumnus award went to H.C. Buck Niehoff ’65 (Hyde Park), and Athletic Hall of Fame inductees were Benton “Rusty” Reaves ’59 (Blanchester) (Rusty passed away on November 11, 2007 and was honored posthumously), Tom Taylor ’88 (Loveland), and Jon Lange ’98 (Atlanta, GA). CCDS defeated traditional rival Summit 21-0 in the football game. The Saturday festivities got underway with the fourth annual Alumni 5K Run/Walk. Over 100 alumni, parents, and students participated. The race was organized by Carla DeFonso ‘89, of Landen, who also serves as the President of the CCDS Alumni Association. Following the race was the Alumni Luncheon where the Distinguished Alumnus and Athletic Hall of Fame inductees were formally recognized. In his opening remarks to a packed house, Head of School, Rob Macrae highlighted the importance of the event saying, “I am thrilled to welcome back and honor our former students. Their notable contributions to CCDS and their respective communities deserve our thanks and gratitude.” OCTOBER 31, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 19 On Saturday evening, individual classes gathered for reunions. The classes of 1958, 1963, 1978, 1983, 1988, and 1993 held reunion celebrations and were all visited by Head of School, Rob Macrae.

CCDS has a climbing tower for students because of his generosity. Buck is also deeply involved in the Cincinnati community, serving as Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Trustees for UC. What’s more, the Mercantile Library, The Museum Center, and countless other Cincinnati institutions are all beneficiaries of Buck’s incredible service and philanthropic support.

In fifty seven years of mountain climbing, he has faced danger and pursued adventure all over the world When Chad was a Boy Scout, he relished hiking and camping trips in his native Kentucky. As a Scout leader, he took groups on overnight excursions and savored outdoor exploits. When he was 16, his father asked him to examine some travel brochures and choose a vacation destination. Chad picked the Grand Tetons of Wyoming. That summer he completed his first ascent, going to the height of 13,766 feet in two days with a guide and another young man. Thus began his climbing quests. In North America, Christine has trekked or climbed almost all major mountains, including Mt. Rainier, Long’s Peak, other Rocky Mountains, the Smokies, the Appalachians, the Sierra Nevadas, the Canadian Rockies, and the Bugaboos. (To clarify terms, trekking a mountain is hiking on it, and climbing a mountain is reaching its summit.) As a member of the American Alpine Club and the Canadian Alpine Club, he ascended peaks with renowned climbers. He also traveled to other continents from the Alps to Asia and all over the globe pursuing his sporting passion. He has climbed the Matterhorn and Mt. Elbrus, the tallest peak in Europe. He has been to the Himalayas several times. His goal was visiting a mountain every year. Physical fitness is mandatory for climbers. Chad Christine maintained his superior fitness with a variety of cardio vascular sports and intense training. In addition to many local races, he ran the roads of Indian Hill (often starting from his home on Keller Road), and across bridges in downtown Cincinnati at lunchtime. He went spelunking and caving, as some techniques were similar to mountain climbing. An avid bicyclist, he traveled throughout southern Ohio with an elite group that annually rode 400 miles in 4 days and 200 miles in one day. He trained on Nautilus equipment, played lots of tennis, swam and skied. He was always in peak condition. Mountain climbing has always been a risky sport, with unexpected crevasses, fragile snow bridges, avalanches, and difficult weather conditions (whiteouts, lightning, rapid temperature changes). Having witnessed all of these, Christine exercised constant caution. He admitted that some of the best decisions he ever made were to turn around and go down the mountain. Quoting a friend, Christine said, “Getting up is optional; getting down is mandatory”. When asked about his most dangerous climb, Christine singled out Nevada Huascaran, a 22,205 foot peak in Peru. The expedition lasted 24 days and the group carried their own tents and food in heavy packs. Braving icy conditions in hazardous snowfall, only a few climbers attained the peak. Chad was one. Another perilous event occurred during a descent in the Canadian Rockies, when Chad and his oldest son, Chad III, (age 15) rescued their guide who had fallen into a crevasse. Despite some harrowing climbs, Chad and other mountaineers have seen sights that few others will ever see. Among members of the alpine fraternity, there is a bond. They are aware of the inherent dangers of the sport; still they strive for its high adventure. On expeditions, climbers depend on one another and often form lifelong friendships. When asked about the rewards of his sport, he noted the camaraderie, the adventure and majesty of it, as well as its spiritual component, and mentioned identifying with nature in a beautiful world. A focused sportsman, Chad Christine has been rewarded by numerous triumphs at the top. Thanks to Chad and Treon Christine for assistance with this article. OCTOBER 31, 2008 – INDIAN HILL BULLETIN – PAGE27 THE INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT INDIAN HILL Curiosity seekers, amateur historians and friends gathered at the Little Red Schoolhouse on October 26, to learn first hand some “Little Known Facts about Indian Hill.” Indian Hill Historical Society Trustee, Chip Hunter, entertained the guests with humorous anecdotes regarding the unique characters and the unusual historical incidents that have made our Village so unique. A colorful PowerPoint presentation illustrated everything from the alleged Underground Railroad remains on Shawnee Run Road to the old railroad that ran through Redbird Hollow. Historical pictures were complimented with scenes today of the “little known” observatory located at Cincinnati Country Day School and the hopefully “little used” jail cell at our Indian Hill Ranger Station. The intriguing painting of Lady Camargo, that usually hangs in the Indian Hill Historical Society’s Buckingham Lodge, was on exhibit. Her presence led to a discussion of the origin of the name Camargo, so familiar to our Village since its inception. Guests learned that Camargo may have originally been inspired by LaCamarque, an island in southeast France in the Rhone Delta, which is the French equivalent of the ranches of the United States. The name then could have come from a little town in Clermont County named “Camargo”, where several French families lived and who often traveled the route that we know today as Camargo Road. Or, one might prefer the legend that the road was named after the lovely French lady dancer, Marie Anne Cupis de Camargo, who died in 1770. In her era, she was very much admired by the French people. Her portrait was certainly admired by the guests at the Schoolhouse event!
