In May 2016. my family agreed to donate a 12'-20' section our our property frontage to the Ohio & Erie Canal-way Towpath Trail which was needed to close the last remaining gap between Tuscarawas county and Cleveland, Ohio. In Dec 2013 the Bolivar aqueduct McDonnell trail head was dedicated which brought the trail to the Tuscarawas-Stark county line. In 2016 the Bolivar trail was developed to about 20 feet of our property line. In 2019 the trail development will include our property to the Wheeling & Lake Erie 12' 6" Railroad bridge and from the McDonnell trail-head to the bridge. In 2019, the bridge shelter and two sections will be joined.

The about section is broke down to focus on either "About the Snack Shack" and "About the Peace Park" that we may include specific information about how each evolved.

Since 1909, Nickles Bakery has expanded its distribution area to meet the needs of customers in seven Midwestern states. Thousands of customers have enjoyed the freshly baked breads, rolls, cakes, donuts and almost every baked food imaginable which has contributed to Nickles famous reputation as one of America's finest bakeries.

From a small one-man bake shop, the Nickles system now consists of 3 modern bakeries and 37 distribution branches.
