John Perfect being duly sworn in open court, this 19th day of June A.D. 1866, deposes and says that he was present at the execution of the last will and testament of Arzal Pierce of Berkshire Township hereto annexed, that said testator, upon our being called into the room where he was, at his own residence in Berkshire Township, and to us, (this deponent and his father Thomas Perfect, the two witnesses to the said will) that the paper hereto annexed as such, was his will, do not recollect whether I saw him sign it or not, or whether he said he had signed it, do not recollect, but he said it was his will; and either he or some one asked us to sign it as witnesses; do not recollect who it was. We then and there in his presence signed the same as witnesses; he saw us do it. I suppose it to be at his request. We signed it as witnesses in his presence and in the presence of each other. The said testator was then about seventy years of age, had been unwell for many years, but was then as usual about his room. He has been for many years troubled with tape-worm; do not know whether he was then in sound mind, capable of making a will or not; do not believe he was as capable of making a will as he was five or ten years previous to that time. He was very much reduced in flesh, the poorest man I ever saw. He had been in the habit of taking opium to relieve him of the pains of the tape worm. When under that effects he was quite talkative; he has good memory in telling stories. On the day of executing the will, was not talkative. Cannot say how good his mind and memory was on that day. It was as usual. He usually attended to his own business, bought and sold property.

On cross examination say that I do not consider him then capable of making a will. Do not know of his attending to his business at that time. Did not do much or any work at that time; but cannot say but that he did as much as men usually do at his age. For some time before that I observed that he was getting worse and more feeble. It is my opinion now that he was not capable of making a will for a year or two before that. For a year or two he did not do so much work as he did before. Do not believe he did a quarter as much. He did not at that time do much business. Would myself do business with him without hesitation, if I had any to do with him. I think I might cheat him, and think I had had several opportunities to cheat him, but would not. And further say not. (signed) John Perfect. Also at the same time and place came Thomas Perfect the other witness to said will, and being duly sworn upon his oath say that he was present at the execution of said will; do not recollect whether I saw him sign the will or not; but he said that it was his will; either he or some one asked me to witness it; cannot recollect who it was or what was said; we witnessed it in his presence and in the presence of each other. I sat down at the table and the testator was in the room while we were witnessing it. He was then about seventy four years of age. Could not say but that in mind and memory he was capable of making his will. And further say not. (signed) Thomas Perfect. At the time and place came John Roberts, who being duly sworn deposed and says that some time in September last I was sent for by Ann Pierce a daughter or step dau= =ghter of Arzal Pierce to go to his house to draw his will. Accordingly went. Found him out of his house at work. He came in, and I proceeded to write his will as he directed. No one present in his west room of his house. The witnesses were sent for, who came into the room before I had entirely finished the will. Pierce, the testator, then sat down at the tablet and signed and the two witnesses stood behind him and saw him sign it. I then asked him if he acknowledged it as his last will and testament; he said he did, and then the said witnesses then signed signed it as witnesses in his presence. I have been long acquainted with the said testator and believe him then to be of sound mind and memory and capable of making his will.

Mr David Bricker, Galena, Ohio, Dear Sir: Yours of September 26th received. I am glad to know that you can spare some time to look after the renting of the Johnson farm. It is nearly out of the question for me to make satisfactory arrangements with a renter. Several men have written to me about it, and I enclose you letters from Mr Edwards, Huddlestun and George Grey. Mr Grey as you will notice by his letter, wishes to rent for cash. I expect that if you could make satisfactory arrangements, with a good man for cash it would probably be better the first year, than to undertake to stock it on shares. I will leave this business to you now and any arrangements you may make will be all right with me. I expect it will be necessary during the sale for someone to look after my interests, and I will leave that to you. If you can I would also like to have you attend to the insurance. There seems to be plenty of men after farms this fall, and I hope we will be able to get hold of a good one. Anything you wish to know just write me and I will give you all the information I can.

The men are of about the worst type and the women are also. Of course there are many good American families in Mexico and I beleive these have been rarely if ever molested when the federal government is in control. If we succeed in destroying the government (which is Gen Huerta) it is hard to tell what will happen, probably the serious trouble will then begin.

I have no objection to signing the petition if in your opinion it will not be to my disadvantage regarding a road from Condit straight to Patricks Corners. A road from Condit straight to Patricks Corners would be a great bene- fit to the farm, but it seems to me that should they succeed in getting one only from Condit, to Mt. Pleasant Corners that it might be very hard to get one the rest of the way. As I know nothing about the case I will leave it for you to look into and do as you like about sending the peti- tion to Mr. Beard. Yours Truly, H.H. VanKirk. P.S. As they will probably get the pike regardless of my signature, it might be best to give Mr. Beard the petition in order to keep his good will and place him under obligation to sign for a pike from Mt Pleasant Corners to Patricks Corners should the land owners along that road ever wish a pike.

THE VILLAGE OF POWELL DELAWARE COUNTY OHIO June 13, 1997 Dear Neighbors, Thank you for joining us for Powell's Golden Days. Over the last 50 years, Powell has changed from a quiet country crossroads town to one of Central Ohio's fastest-growing and most popular bedroom communitities. Powell is special to those of us who live here. While it offers its increasing number of residents easy access to all of the amenities of a major metropolitan area, it retains a little bit of that small-town atmosphere that caused us to move here. We invite you to enjoy both sides of Powell this weekend, and to return frequently to watch us finish building our commu- nity. Sincerely, Bill Nolan [signature] Bill Nolan Mayor P.O.

To The Powell Community On Memorial Day just a year ago, I came to the Village of Powell as the new Police Chief. From the first day, it was obvious to me that the landscape here changes daily. Construction workers comprise one of the largest groups of those working in town. Many of our residents are successful business owners and cor- porate leaders from elsewhere in the Columbus met- tropolitan area. Beautiful large upscale residential de- velopments create a pleasant environment even for the passerby. The flashing four-way stop at the center of town gave little forewarning of the traffic that flows through each day. Our antique stores and restaurants draw visitors from afar. When I wonder about life in the early California mining towns during the gold rush, I compare life today in Powell. Our rapid development creates a similar atmosphere of excitement. A 1947 photograph of the first village mayor and council sparked my interest for a Powell Golden Days celebration. In Clayton, Ohio, where I was police chief before coming to Powell, the mayor organized a com- munity picnic held in the park every August. The Mayor and council members cooked on the barbecue grills and the churches sold baked goods. The county elected officials came out to meet the community. We had live entertainment and pony rides for the kids. The police cars and fire trucks were on display. Three- legged sack races and children's games were part of this five hour event. I thought a picnic in the park would be a great way to celebrate Powell's fiftieth year of incorporation. Powell's mayor, Bill Nolan, and the council gave the approving nod and the planning began. Still rela- tively new to town, I made a few calls and wrote a few letters to expand the interest. The village staff brought forth many names and suggestions of how to get started. During our first meeting of ten or twelve vol- unteers, I offered up the Clayton picnic type event, or maybe something bigger. The group chose bigger! Af- ter much discussion and planning, we settled on a three day event spreading from Murphy's Party Barn through town to the North Park. Resources for the event came from cash contributions from business and personal sponsorships, volunteer labor and services, and staff support from your local government. From day one, this event has been committee driven. We never elected officers and the subcommit- tee leaders and members were drafted for the most part. Our members represent civic groups, business, government, and indi- vidual volunteers with a united commitment to this special event. We have looked back at Powell's history long before the in- corporation, to our present, and toward our future. This milestone rec- ognition has given us the great opportunity to hear first-hand accounts from those living in Powell fifty years ago. The Powell Commemorative Booklet is a self-portrait of our com- munity: those who live here, work here, or have per- sonal ties. This celebration reflects our community extending beyond the corporation lines. I am personally grateful to the very talented and resourceful members of the Powell Golds Days Com- mittee. A special thanks to the elected and appointed government officials of the Village of Powell, Liberty Township, and Delaware County. Remembering that this is a community event, I would like to thank the Powell community for its contribution in resources and fellowship. Gary Vest [signature] Gary Vest, Chair Powell 50!

King and Queen Pat Chambers Haywood and her husband, Marvin, were both born in 1947 and have been chosed to be the queen and king of this Golden Days celebration. Though born in Columbus, Marvin came to Powell in seventh grade and completed his education at the Powell School. Both he and Pat graduated from Olentangy High School. You could call them "high school sweethearts". Pat was born and raised in the village. She recalls that their class was the last eighth grade at the "Monument on the Hill". Pat went on to Capital University and later returned to Powell as a substi- tute teacher for a short time, with her second grade teacher having become principal! "It was fun,! Pat says. Marvin's home here in Powell was quite unique. His family lived in the downstairs of the 1882 school building on S. Liberty Street, and he remembers the blackboards still being on the wall on the second floor! That space had not been converted into family living quarters, but he and his siblings enjoyed playing there. Pat and Marvin have three children and now live in the Clintonville area of Columbus. We are pleased they returned to their hometown to serve as queen and king. A princess and prince were also chosen.

The Powell I.O.O.F. Lodge #465 was chartered September 29, 1870, and originally met in a building which stood on the northwest corner of Liberty and Olentangy Streets (it was later destroyed by fire). In 1880. a lot was purchased on the southwest corner of the intersection a 2 story building was constructed for $1,600. The upstairs was used for lodge meetings and other community events. The downstairs served as the community grocery. The ladies' branch of the lodge was chartered May 18, 1888, and was known as the Liberty Rebekah Lodge #247. Both lodges were very active and had many members for a number of years. As the members aged, died, moved or dropped out, membership dwindled. Younger people were not attracted to lodge work. In 1995, the building was sold and the few remaining Odd Fellows consoli- dated with Delaware's Olentangy Lodge #53. The Rebekahs, having no place to meet, consolidated with the Delaware Rebekah Lodge #198 on March 17, 1996. Copyright ? 1997 by the Powell-Liberty Historical Society, 103 E.

CHAPTER 1 - CIRCA 1947 The Powell Speedway The coming of racing to the area caught the attentiion of surrounding residents in the 1940s. (See related "Glimpses of the Past," page 18 and The Columbus Dispatch article on the next page.) Races began at the Powell Speedway in 1947 with motorcycles, Offenhausers, and midget race cars. There were also daredevil shows. The grand- stand, which remained from the property's previous use as The Delaware County Fairgrounds, was removed around 1950. [photo: Motorcycle races at Powell Speedway, late 1940s.] Virginia Hess, who lived with her husband just east of the track, recalls a humorous story: "The dust created by the racing cars was very thick-like the dust bowls out west. We had a cow who ate the dusty grass that made her milk a tan color instead of white. Even after straining the milk, it still was not white. This is a true story- believe it or not!" page 7 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/13c3abbd1dafa52e9c6bbb67f45a352e.jpg 568db26ec75269a0e2792d197a6c0487 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Come Monday night the Powell Community Booster Club will celebrate the ending of the "battle of neighbors" and launch a new golden era which promises to bring street lights, fire de- partment equipment and flourish- ing business to the Delaware County village of about 350 resi- dents. Which is just an around about way of saying Powell is preparing to become an incorporated village Feb. 17. Behind the fact is a story of turmoil ending in peace, of dissension bringing progress. The "battle" started last spring over the Powell Speedway's plans to open an auto race track at the site of the old Powell Fair- grounds. Nearby residents, recalling clouds of dust raised in bygone years at the same site, started circulating petitions opposing the establishment of the new track. Other residents, including many businessmen, viewed the proposed track as a potential source of revenue for the village. They re- fused to sign the petitions. Petition circulators then con- ceived a new idea of attack. They decided to incorporate the vil- lage, thinking the track could be barred if the village were incor- porated. In a counter move, those favor- ing the track organized the Booster Community Club to op- pose incorporation of the village. Then a startling thing hap- pened. Or rather two startling things: 1. Leaders of those opposing the track did an about face. They learned the track would be operated as a "big time" track. They dropped their op- position to the track. 2. The Booster Club also did an about face. It decided the village should incorporate for its own good. J. H. Plummer, grocer and fin- nancial secretary of the club, and W. F. Bayles, retired telegrapher and chairman of the club's ad- visory board, Saturday, told about the "on again off again Finnigan" moves and the reasons behind the ultimate actions. "We got to rubbing elbows with each other, exchanging ideas. We decided to incorporate for a number of reasons. For one thing, we'll get more return from the taxes we pay. We'll be in a better position to promote the growth of the village. We'll be better able to co-operate with those who may want to build homes here or locate new busi- nesses here." The Booster Club got behind the circulation of petitions for the incorporation of the village. Another group started petitions opposing incorporation. When the smoke cleared, those for incor- poration numbered 134, those op- posing 30. The Booster Club raised $400 to finance the campaign and meet expenses of incorporating. On Oct. 19, three agents of the club-- Eugene Hess, Harry Weinstock and H. O. Kline--presented the petitions and plat of the village to the Delaware County commis- sioners, asking that a charter be granted. On Dec. 19 the commission is- sued the charter which becomes effective Feb. 17. The successful incorporation campaign came on the heels of an earlier and even more bitter controversy which found Powell in the thick of a fight over con- solidation of schools in several townships including Liberty in which Powell, Hyatts and Lewis Center are located. Some favored the consolidation. Others opposed it. Eggs of some vintage were splattered over some farm homes. There were other acts of maliciousness. The fight ended last spring when the consolidation was ordered. Don Mack, an insurance man who lives near Powell, recalled the bitterness of the fight.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to labeled page 9 of Powell's Golden Days, June 1997] B U S D I S P A T C H Sunday, February 9, 1947 TO INCORPORATION OF VILLAGE "In some instances disinter- ested residents found themselves smack in the middle of the con- troversy with a neighbor on one side of him insisting he go one way and a neighbor on the other side insisting he go the other. "If one side learned that the other side had got a man to sign, the other side would then send a woman to the home of the man to try and get her signature and offset the signature of the hus- band." Mr. Mack will preside as mas- ter of ceremonies at the Monday night celebration of the Booster Club which will be held at the Methodist Church in the form of a banquet and installation of new officers for the year. Club members are enthusiastic about the future prospects of Powell as an incorporated village. Agents of the club who pre- sented the petition for incorpora- tion will determine whether not a special election will be held to elect village officials--a mayor, council, treasurer and other of- ficers. Efforts will be made to induce industry and new business to lo- cate in the village and commu- nity, club members said. Aid will be given persons seeking home sites in the village. The village, laid out in 1876 and still without street lights, will get street lights and other modern facilities. Thus, out of turmoil and dis- sension, a new Powell is to arise. The club behind the new Powell vouches for this. It has a slogan: "Let's go, Powell." Notice of Petition for Incorporation of Village Notice is hereby given that on the 14th day of October, 1946 there was presented to the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Delaware, State of Ohio, a petition signed by 134 electors residing within the following described territory in the County of Delaware, State of Ohio, to-wit: (An extensive legal description of the village followed.) And representing that said territory has been laid off into village lots, plats of which territory so laid off have been acknowledged and recorded as is provided with respect to deeds, or have been sur- veyed and platted by an engineer or surveyor who has certified thereon under oath to the correctness of the same and which are recorded as is provided with respect to deeds and that said territory within said proposed corporation embraces also adjacent territory not laid off into lots. That this territory above described does not embrace within its limits the grounds or improve- ments of any county or city infirmary; that the number of inhabitants now residing in said territory is 306; and praying therein that the said territory may be organized into a village to be named "Village of Powell", which petition is now on file in the office of the Auditory of Delaware County; and designating the undersigned to act as agents of the petitioners, as required by law. Said Board of Commissioners has fixed Decem- ber 19, 1946 at 2:00 o'clock P.M. as the time for hearing said petition at the office of the Board of County Commissioners in Delaware, Ohio. Petition signatures were: E. Eugene Hess, H.O. Kline, and H. Weinstock. Incorporation Formerly the Powell Businessmen's Association, the Powell Community Booster Club was the impetus for Powell's incorporation on February 17, 1947. The Worthington News, dated December 26, 1946, reported: "Delaware County Commissioners voted unanimously for the incorporation of Powell, following the hearing and consideration of a petition from residents... The petition was signed by 134 citizens of the proposed area who favored the incorporation, while a remonstrance against the proposal was signed by 34." It continued: "The practice of being conservative, impartial and dealing justice at all times, should result in creating and preserving the harmony among the citizens which is necessary for the future success of the village."

It is located in the pretty dividing heights between the Olentangy and Scioto valleys." He continued: "It's strange how people like to go down a street and say: 'I remember when they turned on the lights.'" There are those today who still remember. Donna Lawrence, who served for many years on the village council recalls: "The governor came. I can still see his shock of white hair, and we closed off the streets and had a street dance with speeches and a big party. When they turned on the light, little Powell wasn't dark anymore. it had light like a big city."

CHAPTER II - GLIMPSES OF THE PAST The following chapter is devoted to recollections of member of The Powell-Liberty Historical Society with a focus on life 50 years ago. They appeared in the Olentangy Valley News and are reproduced with its permission for the unifying quality they offer this commemorative booklet. Canfield Hardware Store was place to be in spring by Jean Kirkham Hey, Don, my truck's parked at the 'mill'. Throw in a 100 pounds of calf meal and 50 of chick feed. I'm going to Pernal's for a haircut." "Don, I need two pounds of six-penny nails." "Lucile, I'm here to pay my light bill." "What can I give my kids for Christmas? I see you have Ingersol watches, harmonicas, pocket knives, sleds and wagons. Oh, yes, there's a doll my little girl would love." So it was on a typical day in the Sharp and Canfield Hardware Store, 50 years ago. In spring, there were hand plows, manual cultivators, seeders, hoes, spades and shovels on the covered porch. Inside were 30 gallon crocks of seed corn, several varieties of beans, peas and other large seeds. Stacks of seed potatoes and onion sets were nearby. Each was weighted out to fulfill the customer's needs. Small seeds, such as lettuce, tomato, carrots, spinach and beets, were weighted in one-eighth or one- quarter ounce units. At that time, almost every home had a garden which supplied the family's vegetables for the entire year. [photo: Canfield's Hardware eventually was sold so the Canfields could open a Sohio station, which was located where the gazebo now can be found.] In 1921 Julian E. sharp and son-in-law, Donald Canfield, bought the Scott Brothers Hardware and established a business which served the Powell community and much of southwestern Delaware County. After Mr. Sharp's death in 1943, Lucile Sharp Canfield (Don's wife) began working full-time in the store. Full- time meant opening at 7:30 a.m. and closing at 9 p.m. Serving the public meant long hours and also keeping a great variety of wares available. Don spent one day each week going from wholesale house to wholesale house in Columbus to keep the store well-stocked. The hardware building is now occupied by Powell Village Antiques on the northeast corner of Olentangy and Liberty streets. The mill referred to in the first sentence is now Powell Day Care Center. It was built by H.E. Sharp as a flour mill. Canfield converted it to a warehouse for all kinds of Tuxedo animal feeds. He delivered several hundred pounds of the products each week to the surrounding farms. Some of the feeds were bagged in cotton prints which were used to make aprons, towels and even dresses. The barbershop, known as Pernal's, was owned and operated by Pernal Askins for many years. He was a brother of Craig Askins, a lifelong resident of this area. In 1948, the hardware was sold so that the Canfields could establish a new business. They built a Standard Oil station on the opposite corner (where the gazebo and park are now.) Again Lucile worked every day with Don, except Sunday when she served as church organist in the Powell United Methodist church, a position she filled for more than 40 years. In 1955, because of their poor health, the Canfields leased the station to Melvin and Luthella (Poodle) Morgan. The Morgans continued in the business until 1968. Jean Kirkham is a lifelong resident of Powell and has been a piano and vocal teacher in the community for 50 years. She is the daughter of Lucile and Don Canfield. page 12 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 12) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2c1bc2b315f329f1f992ee40716e38a9.jpg 1f16f377bc34787af0246f103d189e67 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Penny Candy was popular at Plummer's Confectionery by Evalyn Plummer Anderson In the village of Powell 50 years ago there were three grocery stores to serve the area. The nearest town to shop was 10-12 miles to Worthington, Delaware or 20 miles to Columbus. Graceland was the first shopping center to come to the area, but in 1947 Graceland was still farm land. The three grocery stores to serve Powell and the surrounding area were Clara Bell's Reeves Red & White and Plummer's Confectionery. The owner usually lived in rooms behind the store and the family was expected to help. The typical store had a pot-bellied stove for heat and hang down type of incandescent lights. Rest rooms were non-existent. Running water came from a well or cistern. Windows were high to let in light and hot air out. Screen doors in front and back let fresh air in to circulate with help of fans. In mid-summer, hanging sticky ribbons with flies were not uncommon. There was usually a big ball of string up high hanging down to tie packages of meat, etc. You told the grocer what you wanted and he got it down off the shelf for you. Those who lived in the village walked to the store daily or sent the children. The children might have a few pennies change to choose candy from the penny candy case. Farmers in the country drove into town. Many times the men brought the list and while the grocer filled the order the men visited, gossiped or solved the problems of the world. The stores were stocked with canned goods, but only one brand of an item, fresh meats, (lunch meat sliced by hand), produce in season, cereals, milk, ice cream, and soaps like Fels-Naptha, Lifebuoy, Camay, Ivory and penny candy! Also available was gloves, caps, socks, yellow tablets, pencils, crayons, sewing thread. Patent medicines like aspirin, Ex-Lax, Hadacol, Elixir, cough syrup, Vapor rub, iodine, bandages, adhesive tape (not Band-Aids). At Plummer's you could get Shell gas and oil as well as ice for the ice box. Ice Cream cones were two dips for a nickel. They had two tables so you could sit and eat a chocolate sundae while your order was being filled. Soda pop came in 6-oz. bottles such a coca-cola, 7-up, orange, grape and root beer. In 1947 stores had not changed much for many years due to the great Depression and then World War II. But in the next 10 years things changed rapidly. Stores started to remodel and put in central heating and air-conditioning and open shelving so customers could serve themselves. Reeves and Plummer's remodeled in 1950. Gone were the gas pumps and ice house. Added was magazines, greeting cards, costume jewelry, watches, home perma- nents, band-aids, baby gifts, pot pies and frozen vegetables, warm nuts by the pound, pop by the carton, packaged ice cream, 45 RPM records, more school supplies, toys and games. Later they added work pants, shirts, underwear, flannel shirts, blue jeans, straw hats, yard goods, sewing notions, paint, license plate agency and they still had Penny Candy! By the mid-'50s super markets were being built rapidly and people were beginning to get second cars and the family general store was finding it hard to compete. People liked having a choice of brands to choose from and serving themselves. The Mom and Pop type general stores as I knew them were the forerunner of the big super markets of today. But there is no such thing as Penny Candy! [photo: Harold Plummer and Melvin Morgan sit at Plummer's Confectionery in 1941.] ADDITIONAL NOTES: Walter and Eliza Weaver ran the grocery "on the corner" for many years. Ben and Clara Bell bought it in 1946. They had two sons, Donald and Victor. Ben died in 1948. Clara continued to run the store and later married Lanny Landstrum. Clara stayed in the store until 1985. These owners did not live in the back of the store. Fred and Rhe Reeves and son Mac came to town in 1937 and opened the Red and White store. The Reeves did live behind the store for awhile, and remodeled it at least once before closing in 1973. Harold and Elsie Plummer came to town in 1941 and opened Plummer's Confectionery. They had two daughters Evalyn and Carol and they all lived in the back rooms of page 13 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 13) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0f24caaf205e9ea1418449cec07cc6ff.jpg 4e2433477ec960ff5183dcb57801f5ea Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The store was remodeled in 1950. Harold died in 1955 and Elsie continued running the store with daughter Evalyn and her husband Andy Anderson. The store closed in 1973. Evalyn Plummer Anderson moved to Powell with her parents when she was 10 years old. She graduated from Powell High School, married her high school sweetheart and raised four children in the small community atmosphere. She and Andy remained an active part of the community until they moved near Delaware in 1990. Powell's first police chief was good will ambassador by Donna Lawrence The village of Powell was incorporated in 1947 and the mayor was appointed along with the Village Council. Then came the big decision as to who would be appointed Village Marshal. The council chose my father, William (Bill) Muladore for the job. He held this office until his death in 1962. Prior to the incorporation of the village, Guy Butcher was the constable of all of Liberty Township including Powell. at that time, the village had no street lights, no fire department, no Del-Co Water and very few bathrooms -- mostly just the little out-house at the end of the path. In 1948 the council appointed Gene Hess as Deputy Marshal. It should be remembered that at this time no training was required -- in other words, you trained on the job. I think my father was chosen because he was tall, strong and had many friends in the town. (This always helps!) He also had a terrific personality and sense of humor. He never backed off from those he couldn't charm into behaving, so his reputation of [photo: Bill Muladore was Powell's first Village Marshal.] being fair but tough helped. He was known as the "ambassador of good will of Powell." He knew every adult, child, dog and cat among the 350 residents of the town. His duties consisted of directing traffic at the four corners, watching at the bottom of the hill where the school was located (the site of Powell Center today) to make sure no child went into the street, cooling the tempers of an occasional domestic battle and keeping quiet about the participants. On Saturday nights, the Powell Race Track was open and the town buzzed with traffic. With the whine of the race cars warming up and the voice of the announcer, my father, along with the county sheriff's department, kept law and order. Dad, with his uniform pressed, his badge on his chest, white shirt starched and ironed by Mama, stepped high. I was so proud of him. In later years, a co-worker of my son, learning that he was from Powell, wanted to know if "that gray-haired old so and so" was still Marshal there. My son told him he was referring to his grandfather who had died several years earlier. The man proceeded to tell my son of an incident in the late 1950s. This man and a friend had gotten drunk one night and decided it would be fun to drive to Powell and ring the bell in the Methodist Church. This was at 2 a.m. on a summer night and naturally woke up a lot of people. The two men thought this was so much fun, they decided to do it again an hour later. As the story goes, the co-worker opened the church door just enough to reach in and pull the bell rope. When he pulled, he pulled on the "gray-haired so and so's sleeve." The co-worker reported, "That old man turned me every way but loose." When I started to write this history, I didn't think it would be a sort of eulogy to my father. He's been gone for 35 years, and I still have people say to me, "Remember when old Bill did this or said that?" Pretty good for a small-town cop! Donna Lawrence, a former village councilwoman, has lived in Powell most of her entire life. page 14 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 14) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c167bd38f73632dcb5ebdda8360959ee.jpg 3c331bb622cea8234409ff294a0e068f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Farming has changed greatly as Powell area developed by Craig Askins I started farming in the late 1920s with dairy cattle being my first interest. I also sold Golden Guernsey milk. Later, when consumers demanded less butterfat in their milk, we changed from Guernsey cows to Holsteins which produced less butterfat and considerably more pounds of milk per cow. We were paid per 100 pounds of milk, and when the butterfat was taken out, we lost money. We took our dairy cows across the Powell Road to pasture and back each day. This would be impossible now. In the '30s and '40s every farm had a flock of chickens. In fact, in those days our chickens gave us more income than the dairy. It was in the mid-1940s that I changed my 1894 barn from loose housing to a stanchions barn. In the early '40s, I changed from horse power to tractor power. Horses have always been a part of my life, so it was a sad day when I sold my last team of horses to Jim Brown. Jim was well known and well loved around Powell for many years. After graduating from Powell High School in 1912, he drove the horse-drawn school wagon and later the first motorized school bus in the state in 1917. Farming was a four-year rotation of crops: corn, wheat and two years of hay. Over the years, grain was hauled to Lewis Center and Kile for sale. We quit cutting wheat and oats with the grain binder in the early 1940s and used a combine. After years of farming, as a hobby I enjoyed using an 1888 steam engine to run a stationary thresher to harvest wheat. In our home we used the wood and cook stove with the warming closet above. The Round Oak heater was used in the living room. This was the "Cadillac" of heaters. Our community was made up mostly of farmers, so 4'H clubs were important. All of our four children were 4-H members. My wife, Marguerite, and I were advisers. The church was important in our lives as well. The old building still stands in the center of Old Powell. Congregations then would number 40 to 50 people. We knew everyone. Today, the Powell Methodist Church serves 400 to 500 people each Sunday morning. In those days, we always addressed our minister as "Reverend". I am sorry that today (I'm included), it is just Lou. Our school building stood in old Powell with 40 to 50 students in high school and 120 in the first eight grades. H.O. Gibson was our superintendent. His widow is my neighbor. One day as I took off in my '38 chevy for Bill Stack's blacksmith shop, I decided to count the dairy farms between my farm and Powell. In 1-1/2 miles, there were six farms: Joe Brown, Earl Clemons, Jack Tuller, the Zinn farm, Pearl Drumheller and mine. Today, there are just two dairy farms between Powell and Delaware. Arriving at the four corners, there was no light, no stop signs and no traffic. My old friend, Bill, the town marshal, was standing there. So I stopped to say hello. When I started to turn left to continue on my way, Bill said, "Craig, hold out your hand so people will know which way you are going". Then came that characteristic laugh. [photo: Craig Askins rides on an old McCormick Grain Binder, drawn by his Belgian horses.] This is the way it was for me 50 years ago. I believe farmers have stayed in business because they work 12 to 16 hours a day, plus holidays, when the work needs to be done and the weather requires it. Craig Askins came as a boy from Oklahoma in 1918. He lived in the home of his parents until his recent death. The barn he used has framework from a barn built for the 1894 World's Fair in Chicago. In the 1970s, he bought a team of registered Belgian mares and raised and sold their offspring at the Eastern States Draft Horse Show for many years. page 15 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 15) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6850da8d235ef1c0d0a19129842ab9c5.jpg 49b4d6afbf022234e9b5e61dccb9fece Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Idea of incorporation meant changes for Powell by Virginia Hess [photo: Gene Hess helped create the first "police car" for the then new village of Powell.] I was asked to contribute an article for "Glimpses of the Past' that included my late husband, Eugene "Gene" Hess, and myself. First, just a little personal note for those who did not know us 50 years ago. Gene and I both came to Powell in the spring of 1932. He came from Columbus and I moved with my folks from Dublin. We met in 1933. I gradu- ated from the old Powell school in 1934. We were married in 1935 and lived in Powell until his death in 1985. I now live in Delaware. As the old town of Powell began to "come alive" after World War II, the Powell Business Men's Association was formed and the idea of incorporation was discussed. Gene led the movement for the incorporation and he and two other men, Harry Weinstock and H.O. Kline, were in favor of this and the incorporation became a reality in February 1947. It was not necessary to have a governing body consisting of a mayor, council members, clerk, treasurer and a marshal. Frank Bayles was the first mayor, and Bill Muladore was appointed at the first marshal. In December 1948, council appointed Gene as deputy marshal. He served in this role while he owned and operated a small plant where he made scale equipment. Some kind of a police car was needed so Gene, being handy with tools and machinery, made "Powell Police" signs and fastened them on the side of his "sedan delivery" car. The signs could be easily taken off or put on as needed by the use of snaps. He had red flashing light and I believe a siren, as he was also a volunteer fireman. The "sedan delivery" car he used was similar in size to the small minivans of today. Gene served as deputy marshal for 14-1/2 years until the pressure of his business forced him to resign in Apri 1962. He remained on the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the November election of 1958, I ran for clerk- treasurer of the village, was elected, and held that office for 10 years. John Kirkham was mayor during this time, and we had a village solicitor from Columbus, Fred Campbell, who kept us doing things legal. The council met in the north room of the low brick building at the northwest corner of Liberty and Olentangy streets. During the years when I served as clerk-treasurer, many changes took place. Powell had grown a little, but nothing compared to the last few years. I would never have imagined that the small quiet town of Powell, the crossroads of liberty and Olentangy streets, and between two beautiful rivers, would now be near city status. My congratulations to Powell on the 50th anniversary of the incorporation. I am very glad Gene and I had a part in the beginning. Virginia Hess is longtime member of Powell United Method- ist Church. Life was much different for Powell teens 50 years ao by Don Bell Fifty years ago Powell was not a suburb of Columbus; it was a tiny country village. The nearest town of any size was Worthington; Columbus was 15 miles away. This created problems for teen-agers. The main mode of transportation was the bicycle, but a couple of the gang had old clunkers to ferry the rest of us around for special occasions. There were not many two-car families so borrowing the family car was not something done on a page 16 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 16) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/df13260560547de188be8a1b9037fcd4.jpg 0df0af09586d27aa886ebe198976fc2c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A passenger train did stop at the depot about 1:00 pm on weekdays and you could ride to Columbus by rail. However, there was no scheduled train to bring you back, so other arrangements had to be made. Hitchhiking was one method. It was safe then. The focal point of the teen-ager was the school and its activities. Sports, music, plays and moneymaking projects to finance the yearly educations trip kept us very busy. Dating was mostly to attend school functions. After school and on weekends we would hang out at the corner store, playing the jukebox, at six plays for a quarter, or trying to win free games on the pinball machine. We would also plan some devious entertainment such as our hub cap game. A group of us would sit at the corner and when a car would pull away form the stop sign, we would throw an old hub cap along side the car and yell that hub cap had fallen from the wheel. One of us would pick it up and just when the driver, who had stopped, was reaching for it, the designated returnee would take off running at top speed. Needless to say, there were some great reactions from the drivers. In the summer most of the young people would work on the area farms baling hay, etc., or at some local business. Of course, there were always jobs at the Powell Speedway on weekends. In our spare time we played baseball and softball usually in a league in Delaware. We won the championship in softball in 1948. In addition, we also collected scrap metal and newspapers in order to buy football uniforms. Since Powell High School was too small for football, we formed our own team, well equipped, and played teams from other areas. We did not do well, but we looked good. Our jerseys had the names of local mer- chants on them. In the fall most of the guys hunted on the large farms of the surrounding area. These areas no longer exist as they are covered with houses. In the winter we went sledding at Devil's Back Bone (now Liberty Parkway) or ice skating at Cox's Pond which is now Old Pond Lane in Deer Run development. Sometimes we would pile into a car and head for Worthington for spaghetti at Ann-Ton's or a hamburger and shake at The Dales, which was owned by two practical-joking brothers. At that time a club sandwich at Ann-Ton's was 65 cents. There were not McDonalds or Burger Kings and we never heard of pizza. The only fast- food restaurant was White Castle and the nearest one was located at Arcadia and High in the north end of Colum- bus. Notice -- there is no mention of television or computers. There weren't any! Dating then, as now, was a big part of a teen-agers' life. Girls talked about boys and boys talked about girls! Most dating was to attend school functions like dances, hay rides or basketball games. Away basketball games were good because you could ride the bus with your girl and did not need a car! A big date would mean a movie in downtown Columbus at one of the first run theaters and a stop to eat on the way home. Of course, there were the drive-in theaters on Riverside Drive and Kingman Hill south of Delaware. Money to finance dates was just as hard to come by then as today. Things like movies and food did not cost as much, but you didn't make much either. There were a lot of double dates due to transporta-- tion problems. Those who did not have cars available did not date much. Halloween was a great time in Powell. We usually started our activities in August. I'll not talk of the things we did, since I'm not sure of the statute of limitations in these cases. Trick or treat did not mean candy bars and bubble gum, but apples and homemade cookies. The Businessmen's Association started a big Halloween Party [photo: Powell High School Cheerleaders and Basketball Team, 1945- 46. Don Bell is pictured third from left in middle row.] held at the school in an attempt to keep down the mis- chief. It provided an outlet, but also brought more teen- agers into town. One ruse we liked to pull was when we saw the town constable, we would run as if we had been up to something just to see if he would chase us. I'm not sure if he was playing our game or we were playing his game! But it kept all of us busy. Being a teen-ager in the late '40s, especially in a small village, was quite different than being a teen'ager today. There were no drugs, no vandalism as we know it today, no robberies, and no TV. We really never did much, but it was a wonderful time. The Bell family moved to the Powell area in 1936. Don Bell graduated from Powell High School in 1949. His mother, Clara, now deceased, ran the store on the corner from 1946 until 1985. Don now lives in Reynoldsburg with his wife Mary. They have two grown children. Don is retired from the Whitehall School System where he "taught teen-agers" for 33 years. page 17 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 17) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cc7147281acff827c86e94f6aa5caa42.jpg e6a049395edd76df8b089773c4fda824 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Murphy's was THE place to be on Saturday Night by Willmoe Murphy My husband, Charles (Chuck) Murphy loved auto and motorcycle racing, when he returned from World War II service. he talked his father Herman (Shy) Murphy into looking for ground on which to build a raceway. They finally settled on the Delaware County Fair Grounds, where the horse race track was still visible and the grandstands stood facing south along state Route 750. [photo: Daredevil races once were the rage at the Powell Speedway.] Land abstracts document the 100-plus acres of ground purchased by the Murphy family was part of 4,000 acres deeded by President John Adams to James Parker, with the deed executed April 24, 1800. It took several months to grub out the under brush, remove the old building leaving only the large exhibition barn. This building approaching 100 years old is still standing and currently operates as Murphy's Party Barn and Catering. Shy and Chuck Murphy along with several Columbus businessmen formed the American Racing Association Inc. in 1946. It aligned with the American Automobile Association and the American Motorcycle Association, at that time the two top governing bodies of the motor racing world, and joined the NASCAR Racing circuit. This type of auto racing was something new in this area, especially on a half-mile dirt tract. It was distinctive from the paved 2-1/2-mile Speedway at Indianapolis. Their desire was to have a first-class operation. After the racing was under way, one sports writer from the Star newspaper wrote "Powell Speedway is the only place to be on Saturday night, arrive early and picnic. Sports editor Robert Hooey wrote, "Your first glimpse of this new venture will tell you that here's a perfect raceway from a spectator's viewpoint. It's almost a saucer, with short straightaways and long sweeping curves which have a width of 90 fee. From the standpoint of the racer, this track is a honey, no laying off on those curves, just wind-er-up all the way around." My husband insisted on a severely banked track, making it unnecessary to cut down on the speed of the straightaways. Jim Lamb of AAA, the fellow who ran the show in Indianapolis each Memorial Day, was quoted as saying, "after viewing the Powell Speedway, it's my frank opinion a new world's record for a half-time dirt track will be set here this summer." The opening race on June 29, 1946, featured some of the famous Indianapolis drivers: Joey Chitwood, Walt Ader, Spider Webb, Bill Holland, Lee Wallard and Elbert Booker. Wilbur Shaw, manager of the Indianapolis Speedway, was on hand to cut the ribbon. They raced for a estimated crown of 25,000. Cars were parked all over the acreage. General admission (standing) was $1.25; bleacher seats $2 and reserved seats $2.50. Newspaper clippings from our family scrapbooks feature daredevil and thrill shows held at Powell Speedway. Joey Chitwood and his 20 "hell drivers" performed auto and mtorcycle stunts. Eddie "Lucky" Zalucki, the most fearless daredevil- speedster of the "new crop" of drivers (Post World War II" also performed. We even had a rodeo contest, the circle "M" rodeo featuring movie actor Art Mix. Eventually the track was paved and featured stock car racing. The track has not been abandoned. Today, area sports car clubs can be found using the track for this gymkhana races. The old Powell Speedway has even hosted the 105-mile Ohio State Championship Bicycle Race. It has been a test track and used for numerous TV commercials and advertisements. As use of the race track began to diminish, we concen- trated on picnics and catering. Powell Pancake Day is one of our favorites as so many of the area people join in to do a good job, have fun and raise money for the Powell- Liberty Historical Society. We hear many interesting stories from the older locals. One gentleman, reminiscing, said when he was a boy he raced his horse on the dirt track and boasted of coming in second, but then added, page 18 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 18) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/442150bbcb1c82d865a464063ae34bfb.jpg cfda46a19ade4b8c8227f9bd6756935b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"there were only two horses in the event." Another area man pointed out the location in the barn where he received first prize in a second-grade art exhibit. Over the years we have had many memorable events. During one birthday celebration, Grand Ol Opry's "Minnie Pearl" and Troupe entertained. An international company, entertaining a group of businessmen from Japan, requested a farm family meal. The old barn has hosted numerous celebrity theme parties and several honoring the late Ohio State University Coach Woody Hayes. We even had a helicopter land in our yard during a storn with none other than Joel Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas, on board who was in Ohio searching for movie sites. One company hosted visitors from more than 80 countries. There have been church services, Easter egg hunts, wedding receptions, dog shows and auctions (plus our valued regulars who visit every year). Murphy's Party Barn is still owned and operated by members of the Murphy family. Willmoe Murphy is owner and operator of Murphy's Part Barn and Picnic Grounds. The way it was: 1947 by Louise Cornish Powell was a peaceful, quiet village when it was incorporated in 1947. Frank Bayles became our first mayor. There were unpaved streets, no street lights and very little traffic. The population was around 350, the number you needed to incorporate. The houses on Olentangy Street, mostly now businesses and antique shops, were family homes with many children playing on the sidewalks and in the streets. Children and teen-agers enjoyed swimming at the Shawnee Hills Swimming Pool, skating on the Scioto River and even on South Liberty Street. Sledding on Powell Road was popular, too, but not down the big hill! The young people attended school right here in the village and walked East Olentangy Street, crossed the clapboard bridge, and climbed the hill to the brick school building. The school building was later torn down and Powell Center located there. March 11, 1947, voters of the new Union School District--comprised of Hyatts, Powell and Orange districts--voted upon a special $268,000 bond issue for construction of a centralized high school. The present schools would remain as elementary schools. On May 15 the union school bond issue failed by 29 votes. The vote carried in all areas except Powell. The Powell Village vote was 42 for, 137 against. The Union Board resubmitted the levy Nov. 8, 1947, and it again failed by a great margin in Powell. It seems the Powell voters did not want to loose their local school. Eventually it passed, but not in 1947. Concern in Powell, and elsewhere, was for lack of housing for the returning World War II veterans. Several new homes were built in Powell, including houses ordered from the Sears catalog to build yourself. According to the Delaware Gazette (July 30, 1947), the average five-room house cost $7,000 to $7,900. Another concern was the shortage of many food items. Rationing of food, gasoline, tires and shoes had just ended but shortages remained. President Truman started a drive Oct. 2, 1947, to get people to use less wheat, meat, poultry and dairy products in order to free more grain for Europe. President Truman said, "People can either support conservation or resign themselves to a further spread of communism in Europe." Truman stated that American must not fail to help feed starving Europe, which had been devastated by the war (Delaware Gazette, Oct. 2, 1947). The Powell Methodist Church held a special Memorial Day program. The "Memorial Flag Rites" honored veterans. All servicemen and their families were invited to attend this service including interested community members. The program included vocal numbers and instrumental music. The Rev. Eldridge Holland, a veteran of ETO in World War II, and Lt. Col. H.H. Gibson, veteran of the Pacific area and the occupational forces in Japan, were speakers. The Girl Scouts con- ducted the flag ceremony and the Boy Scouts participated as well. The Memorial address was delivered by the Rev. Russell E. Bayliff. Even though World War II was over and the veterans finally home again, the community still had their victory gardens and shortages. As there was not TV, people listened to their radios. Once in a while they went to the movies to see Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Bind Crosby and Red Skelton. But most of all, they just enjoyed each other. [photo: Skating on S.

Fond memories of home by Sherry Carmichael Dorothy closed her eyes, clicked her ruby heels and fervently chanted, "There's no place like home!" As a product of that very good year 1946, and a sixth genera- tion to live in Powell and Liberty Township, I have read with interest and nostalgia the "Glimpses of the Past" articles. I will forever be grateful that the small town environment of Powell afforded me a wonderful, healthy, free and secure childhood. Buried beneath present day Powell Center are the remains of Powell School, once known as "the Monu- ment on the Hill." This institution opened its doors for the 1911-12 school year and graduated six pupils, my grandmother, Florence Gardner, being one of them. At that time, it was purported as one of only three schools in [photo: Powell Cemetery, circa 1910.] the state of Ohio, which included 12 grades under one roof. The consolidation of Powell, Hyatts, Orange and Berlin schools to form Olentangy High School in 1953 allowed me eight years at Powell School before graduating to high school at Olentangy. My daughter's attendance at Powell School rounded our four generations there before it was razed in 1976. Living only four houses from the school, it was not only central to my education buy my year-round playground as well. I remember how freely we rode our bikes or walked the roads and streets to town, often accompanied by a tail wagging dog, sans pooper-scooper or leash. There were daily trips to the post office, for mail and local news (gossip, if you will!) Clarence Dulin, postmaster when I was a teen-ager, often teasingly held an anticipated letter until all other mail had been sorted, occasionally making me late for a singing lessons at Jean Kirkham's. We might need some bread from Clara's or fresh meat from Reeves Red & White. And oh, the penny candy at Plummer's Trading post! We kids spent a life time deciding what to buy with our nickel or dime! There was no need for security systems or even locked doors during my childhood. Neighbors looked out for one another. When we took vacations, neighbors Ginny and Gene Hess would keep an eye on the house. With no lack of respect intended, town marshal Bill Muladore was affectionately known to me as "Mikey," in whose home I spent many over-nights with his granddaughters. If our moms couldn't find us at the school playground, they would simply cup their hands to their mouths and yell toward the woods. The woods was owned by someone in far off Columbus, but it "belonged" to us! We were the ones who used and roamed it. We often had the poison ivy to prove it! The woods is now home to Olentangy Ridge development. It sports a lovely little "lake" with a spouting fountain in the middle. That "lake" was a farm pond that watered my great grandfather's dairy herd and afforded many happy house of fishing and skating. In those days, it spouted nothing more than cattails where turtles and snakes hid from poking sticks and bare feet. At the turn of the century, the old Powell Methodist Church building was moved from South Liberty Street to its present location on the north side of West Olentangy Street. At that time, it received an addition, stained glass windows, and its unique steeple decoration of a hand with finger pointing to Heaven. Within its walls, the deepest emotions of a town were witnessed from birth, to rebirth, to death. I really miss hearing its bell, calling the town to remember the Lord's day, or ringing out the happiness of a wedding or tolling for a dearly departed one. I remember Memorial Day parades ending in the graveyard. The days were warm with the promise of summer and life, a contradiction of sorts. We Girl Scouts and 4-H'ers held bouquets of peonies to place at a veteran's grave, and the grass was soft and spongy. It seemed a little creepy to be standing on top of someone. But now I love to visit that beautiful old graveyard, to peruse its stones, and I wish there was still room for me to be buried among my ancestors. But not yet! Fifty years is not such a long time. Powell and I have a lot more living to do and a celebration to attend as well! Congratulations, Powell. There IS no place like home!

CHAPTER III -- THE EARLY YEARS [map: 1875 map of southern half of Liberty Township.] Early Powell The first settlement in what is now the Powell area was in 1813. It was called Middlebury, named for some of the settlers who hailed from Middlebury, Connecticut. In the 1830s people called the area Hall Corners for Thomas Hall who operated a store at the "four corners". It was 1856 when the area became Powell. Residents wanted to honor the man, Judge Thomas Powell from Dela- ware, who helped to secure a post office for the town. In 1876, Asa Gordon Hall surveyed and platted the town. The Powell Depot "With the building of the Columbus and Toledo Railroad, Powell made some preten- sion toward becoming a town." (from History of Delaware County and Ohio, 1880.)

The Portland Cement used to make the concrete for the dam was shipped to Powell by rail and hauled to the dam site, some by horse and wagon. Stone came from the Stansbury Quarry on the Scioto River, near the current site of the Columbus Zoo. I 1988, an Olentangy Valley News reporter wrote: "The dam is a central Ohio landmark.

Powell at the Crossroads by David Betz, Village Development Director Planning for the Village of Powell has consis- tently provided themes which the community has developed and repeatedly adopted after much community debate. Master plans were created in 1974, 1988 and 1995. All three master plans in- volved creating a community centered around enhancing the original village core, allowing growth to occur in a managed program of development while preserving the natural features of the area for future residents to enjoy. During this time, Powell has certainly been at the crossroads. Figuratively, the crossroads have experienced tremendous pressure as the whole central Ohio region exploded in new growth. A challenge has been to preserve the natural environment which is a major reason Powell is so popular. Delaware County has especially been hit hard because of its location in an area offering good access to downtown. Addition- ally, the natural features people look for when seeking a new place to live are found on this upland plateau. Situated between the two major rivers off central Ohio, the Scioto River to the west and the State Scenic Olentangy River to the east, Powell has been ripe for the suburban growth that has occurred. Tributaries to the Olentangy River which flow through the village create a sense of naturalness and open spaces, a recurring theme in planning the area. Dedicated open space and natural scenic preserves have been retained through the development pro- cess. Although development has occurred in the village, it has been done in a managed way. Pres- sures from those who live and work in the village have created the community Powell is today. The [photo] [photo: Typical scene in 1997 -- New construction almost everywhere!] balancing act of managing growth is continuing. In reality, the crossroads of Powell exist at the center of the village known as the "four cor- ners". Historically, this part of town was the gathering place for community events for the village of 350 people before the growth trend started in the late 1970s. Even the original master plan of page 37 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 37) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4af6f040b360c90a05f3efbfd003e238.jpg f3d67d6b9b583efa912fe29f814f0294 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The 1995 master plan includes a close examination of the old village area and recommen- dations from that VillageScape plan will begin implementation in July of 1997. Rebuilt streets, paver sidewalks, historic style street lighting and street furniture will revitalize the crossroads and provide a community character reflecting the flavor of an historic village. Private investment into properties is encouraged and recommendations for these improvements are provided within the VillageScape Plan. A combines public/private partnership is needed and being encouraged for implementation of this plan. Another major recommendation of the Compre- hensive Plan is the creation of a Village Green at or near the "four corners" to provide for public facili- ties such as a village hall, open space, parking, a pavilion for outdoor events and a possible commuter rail station. A positive vote of the community realized the purchase of a 12 acre site in the center of town on which to create this Village Green. Planning for all of the public uses on this property has begun, with implementation to begin in 1998. A community vision statement was created with the 1995 Powell Comprehensive Plan. This statement reflects the community's feeling about the present day village and what it should be like in the future: "The Village of Powell is a small, rural, Greenbelt town, located off the beaten path, along the west bank of the scenic Olentangy River valley, in southern Dela- ware County. . Residential neighborhoods spread along the valley wall, north and south of Powell Road. Other neigh- borhoods are clustered close to the original village, thereby saving valuable farmland and protecting natural resources as a "green" edge. . Natural vegetation is preserved in Powell, and tree- lined parkways and pedestrian scaled village streets punctuate the natural landscape. . Civic design is important in this community. Stone and white rail fence lines recall the agricultural heritage of the village, along with barns and farm- steads which have been preserved through the village's land trust. Monuments and markers, commemorating locally significant personages and historic places, are located throughout the commu- nity, and the town's public art program has enriched the public places where community events are held. . The Village's open space system consists of reserved natural areas, community entrance gateways which shape primary roadways and slow through-traffic, neighborhood parks, a community recreation center and park, a non-traditional town center green and historic cemetery. . Bikeways and walkways provide access and connec- tions from residential areas to the open space system and the town center, and other nearby destinations. . The historic town center, with its mix of uses, has been renovated and provides many enjoyable social, shopping activities and business offices along tree- lined village streets and new walkways. Its underly- ing scale -- pedestrian scale, narrow streets, ver- nacular architecture -- has been extended to new town center housing nearby. Public parking is provided in the town center where municipal offices are located along with the town's commuter rail transit station. . Powell provides an excellent setting in which to live and work. The community truly is a protected respite from the outside region, and many residents conduct professional businesses from their homes, using tele-commuting technology." Powell Comprehensive Plan Adopted December 20, 1995 It can be said that this vision statement has been a consistent theme of all three master plans. The 1974 Plan indicated much more growth within the area than that which has occurred, undoubt- edly because of changing sentiment about the effects that type of growth would have on the community. The 1988 Plan indicated that same planning boundary and laid the groundwork for a community much larger in size than that of the present village.
