Piatt Castles

from Ohio Folklore · host Melissa Davies

Among Ohio’s many tourist destinations, the Piatt Castles situated in Logan County are truly treasured. Their native limestone blocks and intricately painted ceilings transport visitors to another time. Some come for the history, some come for the aesthetics. Few expect to have the kind of deep experience that leaves a person altered. Come hear the tale from the museum’s director, Ms. Margaret Piatt. A descendant of the original owner, she offers an inside view of the historic space. Yet more than that, she shares the personal story of how she’s developed a fuller appreciation for the land on which it sits. Come hear the compelling legend attached to one unassuming boulder located near the property. On separating fact from fiction, we come to learn a bit more of who we were, and perhaps who we might yet become. Native tribes were forced from this region a long time ago. Along with them, let’s not lose the truth of their struggles, their hopes, their wisdom. If you enjoy this episode, please rate, review and subscribe on your chosen podcast platform.
