Second National Bank donates funds for Trail 

The Friends of the Darke County Park District would like to thank the Second National Bank Foundation for its continued multiyear support of the Darke County Parks Cross County Tecumseh Trail project.  “Second National Bank is dedicated to making Darke County a better place to live, work and raise a family, and this is a great example of a project that accomplishes the Foundations mission” stated John Swallow President and CEO of Second National Bank.  This donation will be used for additional construction by the Park District to continue expansion of the Tecumseh Trail.  The Tecumseh Trailhead is in Gettysburg and extends 7 miles.  As you bike, walk, skate or ride along the paved 10 foot wide Tecumseh Trail, you will be surrounded with the Darke County countryside. “By connecting Darke County with the other Miami Valley Bike Pathways, the Tecumseh Trail will bring in a whole new community of outdoor enthusiasts to the county.”, stated Roger Van Frank, director of Darke County Parks. With the goal of connecting Bradford to Greenville to Union City, this trail will bring with it a wealth of outdoor opportunities to the citizens of Darke County.  If you would like more information on the Tecumseh Trail, please visit the parks website at www.darkecountyparks.org or call the Nature Center at 937.548.0165.
