zane's trace; a new road in a new country

A look inside

Explore the documents that describe the history and location of Zane's Trace. They will explain how 245 years of what was an ultimate transgression of modern progress distorted and lost the location of this first sanctioned road into the territory North and West of the Ohio River. The documents, correspondence, and recollections give context to an overlooked asset of westward settlement in the early 19th century.

Learn the names of the first owners of public land that was crossed by the Trace and where to find the records of these first land sales. Original plats and maps will take you on the journey across Zane's Trace as never before presented.

Indexed and sourced, including applicable URLs, the authors intention is to present as much verifiable information as possible.
