The Refugee Tract of 100,000 acres of land was a strip four and one half miles wide extending forty-eight miles eastward from the Scioto River at Columbus through parts of Franklin, Fairfield, Perry, Licking and Muskingum Counties. It was granted by Congress in 1801 to compensate those who left their property and fled from Canada and Nova Scotia and took up arms in behalf of the colonists.

To commemorate the spirit of these men and women, this tablet is erected by the Ohio Daughters of the American Revolution
