The tiny town of Evansport, Ohio, first settled in 1831, was once a booming mill town in northwest Ohio along the Tiffin River, then known as Bean Creek. Through over a century, it hosted a vibrant downtown area with grocers, blacksmiths, millinerers, restaurants, lodges, hardware stores, and more. Francis Llewellyn Key, first cousin of Frances Scott Key, was one of the town's most well-known merchants during its heyday. Today, Evansport, listed in a book called "Ghost Towns of Ohio", is a sleepy little village of 200 nestled in a small valley surrounded by the river, and steeped in its rich, unknown history. This is the first book ever written about the fascinating history of Evansport, Ohio; of its founders, its industries, and of its people, written with love by Rachael Evelyn Booth, who grew up in the town.
