2025 A Welcoming Bench in a Garden

Bench Challenge
Pull Up a Seat

Roscoe Village

Memorial Garden

Looking back to a trip my daughter and I took to visit (meet in person) cousins from my mother’s side of the family in Coshocton, Ohio.

Memorial Garden
Roscoe Village
Coshocton, Ohio

There is an area in Coshocton known as the Historic Roscoe Village. The Historic Roscoe Village is an 1830 Restored Canal Town. Roscoe Village began as a small port town in 1816 after a bankrupt merchant bet that rural farmers would rather do business there than have to shell out 25 cents for the ferryboat to Coshocton.

Today, the restored Roscoe Village stands as a testament to Ohio’s bygone Canal era.

The Frances Montgomery Memorial Garden is one of nine gardens in Roscoe Village and is located near the Visitors’s Center. This Garden is dedicated to honor Mrs. Frances Montgomery and her passion for gardening. The Gardens are planted throughout this restored 1800’s canal town.

The flower beds were created in the early 1970’s by Frances Montgomery out of her love for gardening. Many of the gardens have historical significance and assist in the education mission of Roscoe Village.

CFFC: Found in Nature-People

Hopefully this will be okay. These are old photos taken in nature of a close family member taken a long time ago by a maternal family member and given to me by my maternal grandmother.

I’m not sure if my grandmother took this photos or another family member. To me it does not matter so much as it does who is in the photos. The first four were taken prior to 1940 in Coshocton, Ohio. This last photo was taken in Florida when they went to find work picking fruit most likely during one winter when work was hard to come by in Ohio.

So, these might not be what you normally think of when you think of things found in nature, but why not display people in various settings out in nature. Pictures tell a story, better than a thousand words. What relation do you think the family member is to me? These were all taken before the family member turned nine. The experiences and stories left untold except for in the photos leaving the recipient to wonder what life was really like back then.
