Geocache Description:

Oak Hill


Oak Hill is a village in Jackson County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,551.

Oak Hill was settled by Welsh immigrants that were stranded on the Ohio River in Gallipolis, Ohio and was a stop on Morgan's Raid, led by Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan during the American Civil War.

The Welsh museum is the only one of its kind in the United States and houses Welsh books, bibles, documents, pictures, and a fine collection of other Welsh items. Maintained by local historian Mildred Bangert, the Welsh-American Heritage Museum is located in the old Welsh Congregational Church in Oak Hill.

Jackson Lake is a man-made lake, in Lake Jackson State Park, near the city limits of Oak Hill. The park is the home of the Jefferson Furnace, in which pig iron for the ironclad USS Monitor was made during the Civil War. The Jefferson Furnace is available to sightseers as of 2005. The furnace is located at the edge of the lake on State Route 279.
