Round Bottom Schoolhouse. Settlement came to Round Bottom in early 1795
following the end of the Indians Wars in what
would become Ohio (1791-1795). Pioneers Allen
Devol, David Wilson, Nathaniel Cushing, Peter Shaw,
and Andrew Story came down the Muskingum
River to this rich and extensive alluvian shoreline where agriculture became a way of life for
them and later settlers. They built the Round
Bottom Schoolhouse in the fall of 1795 from
bricks fired in nearby fields. The school is
one of the oldest one-room brick schoolhouses
in the state.

Round Bottom Cemetery. Round Botton Cemetery's name is derived from
the wide circle the Muskingum River makes
around these bottomlands, It is the burial site
of Round Bottom's earliest pioneers—Benjamin
Dana, Peter Shaw. David Wilson, Daniel Story,
and Abel Sherman, who was killed by a Native
American known as Silverheels at Sherman's Run
just north of Beverly. Veterans from all American
wars through World War II are here as well as the
ashes of Johnny Burrows, a baseball player
who played in the
National League.
