also ranked number one best
zoo in 2012 by Besties Readers

7,000 animals representing over
800 species and sees over 2.3
million visitors annually. The
animal exhibits are divided into
regions of the world, with the
zoo currently operating eight
such regions. The zoo operates
its own conservation program,
donating money to outside
programs as well as
participating in their own
conservation efforts. Over the
past five years the zoo has
contributed over $3.3 million to
more than 70 projects in 30

north of the state capital of Columbus and contains the remnants of a settlement by freed slaves that arrived in
Ohio from North Carolina.
The first evidence of man living in the Alum Creek State Park area dates back over 2,000 years ago to the
Adena culture. The Adena were a Pre-Columbian Native American culture that existed from 1000 BC to 200
BC, in a time known as the early Woodland Period. The Adena culture refers to what were probably a number
of related Native American societies sharing a burial complex and ceremonial system. Seven mounds were
found in the Alum Creek valley and six of the mounds were excavated by archaeologists before the valley was
flooded, creating Alum Creek Reservoir.
A major path of the Underground Railroad ran along Alum Creek. It is thought that over 40,000 slaves passed
through the area on the Sycamore Trail. The white bark of the sycamore tree provided a guide for fleeing
slaves making their way north to Canada at night. Escaping slaves would wade in Alum Creek as a means of
hiding their scent from pursuing dogs and slave catchers. Also, there was a settlement of former slaves from
North Carolina along what became known as Africa Road on the southern end of what is now Alum Creek
State Park. These former slaves also played a role in the Underground Railroad in Ohio.
General Information About Columbus:
Ohio's capital (Columbus) is a friendly city of sleek, modern high-rises and century-old buildings along the
banks of the Scioto River. In addition to being home to one of the finest universities in the nation, its attractions
range from a rich visual and performing arts scene to a renowned zoo, exciting sports, fine restaurants and
enough specialty shops, outlets, and malls to satisfy even the most avid of browsers and buyers. Add to this a
special-events calendar that rivals that of any other city its size, and you'll never lack things to do in Columbus.
Highlights include the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) on the west bank of the Scioto River; the Santa
Maria replica docked on the downtown riverfront; three historic downtown theaters (the Ohio Theatre, the
Palace, and the Great Southern); the Columbus Zoo; and a wide range of festivals and cultural events.
Sports enthusiasts can choose from a variety of professional and collegiate sports, including the Ohio State
Buckeyes; the Columbus Crew (major league soccer); Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL hockey); and the
Columbus Clippers (AAA Baseball). But sports fans aren't the only ones who will enjoy the fun and flavor of the
Arena District. This area also offers some of the city's most delectable eateries and nightspots, as well as fine
shops and convenient hotel accommodations.
Three urban districts provide unique opportunities to shop, dine, and explore. Just south of downtown is
German Village, the nation's largest privately restored historic neighborhood. The adjacent Brewery District is a
spirited entertainment area. And at downtown's northern edge is the Short North arts district, often referred to
as Columbus's version of SoHo. The Columbus suburbs of Worthington, Westerville, Grove City,
Reynoldsburg, Dublin and New Albany also welcome visitors with a variety of attractions and events.
