flood markers {march 25, 2023}

Day 5: The Great Dayton Flood

Flood markers can be found all around the downtown area as a reminder of the magnitude of this event and the amount of water that inundated the area.

Many thanks to Ted for his patience as we walked around town on this hunt for flood markers.

  1. One of the reasons I bought, where I bought, was flood markers, and being on top of a tall hill.
