Dating the Tracy House (Apple Creek, Ohio)
Climate Change 2017 is pleased to have been asked to date the Tracy House, Apple Creek, Ohio. The log house/cabin which is now stored in the soon to be Apple Creek Community Center and Library building will be reassembled this coming summer.
The date is unambiguous and most of the timber was cut after the growing season of 1826, and it is likely that the house was originally constructed in 1827, making it one of the first to be built in the East Union Township.
A copy of our report can be found here.
The class cores an old growth living tree to help assemble a calendar dated tree ring chronology.
Dean extracts a core from a beam of the Tracy House under the watchful eye of Annette – the TA, as Conner looks on.
Extracting a core requires being careful to preserve the outer ring of the core (don’t bend the extractor John).
Another successful core extracted.
Graph showing an 100 year overlap between the North East Ohio (NEO) living ring-width chronology and the ring-width chronology from the Tracy House. For the full 230 year period of overlap the correlation is 0.75 – pretty impressive, it shows the power of tree-ring dating and the sensitivity of white oak to climate in Ohio. To learn more about the utility of this data view this.
Special thanks to the Apple Creek Historical Society for working with us on this project.

Wayne County Ohio has been settled for well over 200 years. It became a County back in the early 1800′s. There is a book written by a citizen of Wooster who wrote it around 1870 before the ‘new’ courthouse in Wooster was built. It’s “the History of Wayne County, Ohio” and available online if you’d like to download it.
I downloaded it and read it. Very interesting to see that the old trails are still in use as Ohio roadways now. Ohio Route 3 which goes from well below Wooster up to Cleveland was an old indian trail that was then used as a dirt road when the white men moved into Ohio. There was even an indian massacre in the early 1800′s in what is now downtown Wooster!!!! Apple Creek is less than 20 miles from my home.
