Day 124 -- Enon


Enon, Ohio, is a little village of only 2600 people, nestled in the space between Dayton and Springfield. However, they seem to have a pretty active web presence. There's the Village of Enon web site. There's the Enon Area Business Association. There's the local newspaper, The Enon Messenger. There's the Enon Community Historical Society.

From this last site, I learned about two interesting Enon attractions. Above, you'll find me in front of the Enon Adina Mound, the second largest conical mound in Ohio. Interestingly, there has been no modern, professional excavation of the mound. We don't really know what's in there. [Mound photo from The Archaeo Art Gallery.]

In October, Enon hosts the Apple Butter Festival. Eight to ten thousand people cram into this little village for two days. I'm sure it's a grand old time.
