In an area of western Hancock County within the Maumee River Watershed known as Indian Green, Wyandot Indians used ground along the Blanchard River in the 1700s for hunting and ceremonial purposes because it stood near the river yet high enough to avoid frequent flooding. One-half mile east is a Liberty Township cemetery on a sand ridge once used as an Indian burial ground, giving the area its name. The McKinnis-Litzenberg Farmstead, an early Hancock County home, was originally built in 1847 by Charles and Mary McKinnis, who had moved there in 1822 from Ross County, Ohio. Its farmhouse reflects the vernacular Greek Revival style typical of northwest Ohio in that period, and because of the remote location, the clapboard-sided house and pine-frame English three-bay barn met many family and livestock needs. The farmstead was reconstructed in part in the 1990s and was donated to the Hancock Park District in 1985 for historic preservation and educational purposes.
