About the book:

Clintonville, a Columbus neighborhood situated four miles north of the Ohio statehouse, began as sleepy crossroads halfway between Columbus and Worthington. Beechwold, three more miles north, was a farm, then a zoo. Today they are bedroom communities, but no longer sleepy. The beauty of their grassy knolls, springs, river, and wooded ravines inspired creation of one of Ohio’s best amusement parks, which in turn spurred housing and businesses. The city of Columbus marched right alongside this progress, annexing residential areas almost as soon as they were developed. This new compilation tells, through images and words, the story of Clintonville and Beechwold as they evolved from sleepy hamlets to the present day.
