----- Original Message ----- From: <Floyd707@aol.com> To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 6:34 PM Greetings. I work with a lady who says she visited a town called West Liberty that had small castles that were moved there a long time ago from Europe. Familles lived in them. Today, she says you can get tours through them. She also says that there is a small family cemetery on the grounds. They say it is hollowed ground and there is a path that leads to a grave outside this cemetery where a man and two other women are buried side by side. She says on there tombstone it read, "May God have mercy on their souls." She is not sure what county this place is in. Does this place sound familiar to anyone? I would love to travel there this summer. Please respond to me personally as I am not a member of this list. Any help greatly appreciated. Trina Bogle

I am interested in the castle locations also, please post to list so everyone interested can receive the location.

Hi: The castles you are referring to are one-half and one mile east of West Liberty, Logan Co., Ohio, and are called Mac-o-chee and Mac-o-cheek castles. They were built by by the Piatt brothers, and are open during the summer months for tours, and Mac-o-cheek castle is also open during the Christmas holidays. If you want more info, write to either castle, at W. Liberty, OH and I'm sure they will be happy to send you tourist info. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maggie Stewart <maggieohio@columbus.rr.com> To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 10:58 PM Subject: Fw: Castle's in Knox County > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <Floyd707@aol.com> > To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 6:34 PM > > > Greetings. > > I work with a lady who says she visited a town called West Liberty that had > small castles that were moved there a long time ago from Europe.
