This photograph depicts North High Street at Glen Mary Amusement Park, near the site that is now Camp Mary Orton. High Street followed the route of the turnpikes that linked Worthington and Columbus to the northern cities of Delaware, Bucyrus, and Sandusky. The early roads in Ohio were usually corduroy, made of logs laid in the mud. Travel by stagecoach or wagon was rough and uncomfortable.
In the view shown, the road originally went to the bottom level of the ravine. The jog in the road is clearly visible in early maps. The trestle tracks to the right belong to the Columbus, Delaware and Marion Interurban, an important transportation link for the early 20th century.
The automobile's increasing popularity brought many improvements to roads in Worthington's vicinity. Interstate 71 now carries the bulk of north-south traffic in Ohio, but burgeoning growth in Delaware County has led to increased traffic on High Street (State Route 23).
