The Bullskin trace was an old Indian trail used by Daniel Boone to escape the Shawnee Indians in 1778. It was used by soldiers of General Anthony Wayne’s Army in 1793, was made the Xenia State road in 1807, and carried ammunition and supplies to Admiral Perry’s fleet on Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The road also served as part of the Underground Railroad traveled by slaves to reach freedom. A stone monument in the adjacent field was constructed by William Blanchard from stones collected by residents of Wayne Township and was dedicated in 1927 by the Willing Workers and others of Edenton, and the Blanchester D.A.R.
