Du Montville and Stringtown Road Nature Walk Report
A detailed Fairfield County walk from Hill Country to Stringtown Road traces the evolve of Du Montville from Dumontville to Ges selsville, and documents local cemeteries, early churches, springs, and landmarks. It notes Dumontville founder buried elsewhere, the Coal Mine Church near a charcoal pit, Fetters Run headwaters near the new high school, and fields along Wasem and Stringtown Roads with sparrows, redwings, meadowlarks, and a vivid Savannah sparrow. The piece records road histories, crossings, and the Gideon and Zion cemeteries, plus the yellow oak and Ru gel’s sugar maple, and ends with a dragonfly image near Mount Pleasant.
