Austintown Rotarians enjoyed lunch at the Austintown Public Library with their guest, Carol Potter from the Mill Creek Park District.
Carol told us that Mill Creek Park is a designed park (not a natural park) and was established in 1891 by Volney Rogers. Volney Rogers was a part of the group (American Civic Association) that saved Niagara Falls from becoming just a power plant. Mill Creek Park can be found in Austintown as well with the hike/bike trail located on Kirk Road.
