The outdoor sculpture, known locally as "Squaw Rock" was carved by Chagrin Falls artist and blacksmith Henry Church Jr, in 1885. Church walked along the Chagrin River at night to care this large sandstone boulder. Included in the carving is a quiver of arrows (with the four phases of the moon), a giant serpent, an eagle, a woman with a shell behind her dog, a skeleton, and a baby in a papoose. On the riverside of the rock, Henry Church carved a depiction of the settlement of the United States. Three ships, a log cabin, and a settler can be seen when the river is low.
