From the Newark Municipal Building up Mount Vernon Road
Start at the Newark Municipal Building, printed just below the middle of the sheet. West Main Street and East Main Street run through downtown here. Just south, Edwards Field is printed near Ohio Street. Now head west on Granville Street. It leaves downtown and meets Granville Road. Keep west on Granville Road to Country Club Drive, with Londondale Parkway just north of that corner. Go back to downtown and follow Mount Vernon Road north. It crosses Moull Street, then Jefferson Road, Stare Road and Pierson Boulevard as it climbs the sheet. Near the top, you'll find Gregory Drive. To the east, Co Highway 585 runs out past Swans toward that lake, which isn't labeled. The river through town isn't labeled either. Many of the roads are, and each red shape is a building, so zoom in on the preview and look for yours.
How Heisey glass was made in Newark from 1896
For about sixty years, Newark made glass that people still collect. A.H. Heisey & Co. started making glass here in 1896. Its pressed glass was made to look like cut glass. That put elegant glass within reach of more families. Skilled workers made it, cut it and etched it in many styles. Heisey also brought in new colors and patterns. The plant closed in 1957. An Ohio historical marker says that's because Heisey wouldn't make a lesser, machine-made product. In 1971, fans formed the Heisey Collectors of America. They opened the National Heisey Glass Museum in 1974, at 169 West Church Street. The museum isn't labeled, but West Church Street is printed near downtown, so zoom in and find it.
John Sparks, a scout for Zebulon Pike, on Mount Vernon Road
Another story sits up Mount Vernon Road. John Sparks was a private in the 1st United States Regiment. From 1805 to 1807, he worked as a guide, scout and hunter on the two expeditions of Zebulon Pike. Those trips reached the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the far Southwest. Sparks spent his later years on the north banks of the Licking River. People often saw him walking barefoot around Newark. He died on February 28, 1846, and he's buried in the cemetery at Mount Vernon Road and Gregory Drive. The cemetery isn't labeled, but both roads are printed near the top of the map.
