A new Roadside Attraction for me was Ohio’s oldest bar called Ye Olde Trail Tavern built in 1827 by Elisha and son William Mills. Back then it was called Elisha’s Tavern. The hand-hewn logs are clearly seen in the back of the building. It was the only Yellow Springs structure on Route 68 at the time.
We stopped in after my cancer checkup at the OSU James Hospital in Columbus before we hiked at the nearby Glen Helen Nature Preserve. I enjoyed sauerkraut balls as an appetizer with cod fish, fries and cole slaw as my lunch entrée. Rosie enjoyed a black bean burger and homemade warm potato salad.
