Near this spot, an old footpath bypassed the lower rapids of the Sandusky River from midtown Fremont south to Tindall Bridge. Along this trail, Indians portaged their canoes around swift rapids. It was the Old Sandusky-Scioto Trail, an ancient waterway from Lake Erie to the Ohio River via the Sandusky and Scioto Rivers. The trail also served as a military route for General William Henry Harrison's army during the War of 1812.
