Owl Creek Trail, also know as the Old war trace, connected Upper Sandusky and Mt. Vernon through Caledonia, Mt. Gilead, and Fredericktown. The route continued to Newcomertown by way of Owl Creek (Kokoshing River) and White Woman (Walhoning) River. The trail was used primarily by Wyandot and Delaware Indians in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as well as early Ohio settlers.
