The 2025 SSHT Holiday Ornament!
This year's Scioto Scenic Heritage Trail Ornament will feature the Copperhead Fire Tower. The Copperhead Fire Tower was constructed in 1924 by the State of Ohio and was the first of thirty-nine fire towers erected in Ohio's forests. The 60-foot tower atop the 1,200-foot Copperhead Hill was once manned by park rangers who were on the lookout for wildfires to help preserve Shawnee Forest.
The ornament will be available soon for $15 each.
