The spring is believed to be the work of two early developers from Jacksonville, Florida.
“They created the Echo Mountain subdivision,” said Town Council member Paul Hansen. It was the first subdivision up the mountain after town founder W.A. Smith developed springs, lakes and other amenities in lower Laurel Park.
John H. Patterson built the large home that became the Echo Mountain Inn as a summer residence around 1896. The property has changed hands numerous times since Patterson built his summer retreat, serving as a tea room, a camp for girls and, since 1935, an inn. The Echo Mountain subdivision came 16 years after Patterson first arrived, when he and a partner named Ives laid out the lots.

Point of sale (POS) technology in a modern enterprise solves a myriad of problems, from managing inventory to insights that improve customer experience and retention, as well as a host of other tools to support omnichannel retailing.
By Allan Dickson, independent chairman of redPanda Software
As competitive retailers hurtle ever faster into the efficiencies made possible by digitisation, it is prudent to consider the history of POS to get a clearer picture of how a “if it isn’t broken don’t fix it” approach represents being stuck at a juncture along the evolutionary journey of POS. Sometimes this is caused by a preference not to spend money on technology, other times it is because retailers are hindered by legacy infrastructure.
WATERTOWN â The Dry Hill Ski Area is enjoying a stretch of excellent conditions and the slopes are busy with skiers, snowboarders and tubers in this, its 60th year.
The facility has had its ups and downs with issues like the weather and ownership in the six decades since skiers first took to its slopes, but it has maintained a determination to survive and to remain a local treasure, if only because of it being a novelty â a ski center in the back yard, a brief leap, from a metropolitan area.
âI donât think people realize that there arenât too many communities that have skiing 15, 20, 30 minutes away,â said Dry Hill Ski Area owner Timothy L. McAtee. âAnd you can go there for three hours and spend $20. Most peopleâs skiing experience is, you wake up at 4 in the morning, you drive for two or three hours, you ski all day, and youâre tired and get back in the car and drive two or three hours. Thatâs what a lot of people put up with to be

In the spring of 1796, three parties pioneered north into unknown wilderness, their Cincinnati home fading behind them. After a 10-day adventure up the Great Miami River through mysterious, perilous, unknown wilderness these pioneers reached their destination. The woman believed to be the first off the boat, Catherine Benham Van Cleve Thompson, is now recognized for being the great-great grandmother of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Both Dayton and the Wright brothers are unequivocally tied to the city of Cincinnati. This is how.
In 1788, Cincinnati was founded, in part, by Colonel Robert Patterson, the founder of Lexington, Ky., and grandfather of famed NCR proprietor John H. Patterson. The colonel’s family would soon settle in Dayton, but not before another legendary bloodline would enter the area.
