Surrounded by historic houses and businesses on three sides, Park Square overlooks the mighty Ohio River, life line of so many settlements in southern Ohio.
The park features a historic gazebo, monuments to the early settlers, and open spaces for walking and enjoying the peace of the river. One can still see the barges plying the waters and almost imagine the old riverboats that brought such life to the settlements.
