may be older family cemeteries that have not been identified and preserved. The City has catalogued and recorded information about each known cemetery, including the most comprehensive record available of those interred there.
The City is home to many barns, remnants of the area’s agricultural history. It is the City’s desire to preserve as many as possible and develop parkland around them where practical. Strategies to achieve barn preservation need to include planning, zoning and development standards and acquisition by the City.
The spring located near the Scioto River in Historic Dublin should be preserved and memorialized in deference to the role it has played in the selection of this area as the original site for development.
It is in the City’s interest to strive to identify and maintain those structures deemed to be historically significant.
Most of these are in the Historic District, and guidelines exist regarding the architectural integrity of the area. However, there are other sites on land that someday may be developed. These sites should be cataloged and, where practical and of historic value, preserved. Currently, this is one of the missions of the Historical Society.
Efforts should be made to expand the number of structures on the National Register of Historic Places.
Among the buildings that should be designated and/or maintained as historic sites include the firehouse at 37 West Bridge St., the stone arch bridge over the Scioto River on State Route 161, Dublin Community Church, Dublin Cemetery, Karrer Barn, Tuller Barn, Mitchell Barn and locations in the Historic District and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Native American History and Heritage
Dublin’s prehistory and pioneer history are rich with Native American culture. It is in the City’s interests to maintain portions of that history for posterity and educational purposes.
Significant sites include Indian Run Falls, the Leatherlips burial site and the Holder-Wright Indian Mounds.
The City has been able to preserve the first two sites; the eventual fate of the Holder-Wright site remains undetermined. It is the City’s desire that the mound sites be acquired by the City, preserved, protected and used for educational purposes.
