Flat John Dunlap

Announcing   2024   Winner 

FLAT JOHN DUNLAP CONTEST

 

     MILO HENSON

1st Grade - Pleasant Run Elementary

 

2024 Flat John Dunlap Contest

The Coleraine Historical Society teamed with Elementary Schools in the Township for the “Flat John Dunlap Contest”. Much like the well-known “Flat Stanley”; we were curious to see where John Dunlap traveled this Summer.

 

Who is John Dunlap?

John Dunlap was a surveyor from Coleraine, Ireland. In 1790 he surveyed the land at the bend in the Great Miami River. He staked out 106 acres and oversaw the construction of the fortified settlement called Dunlap’s Station. In 1794 when Colerain became a Township, John Dunlap served as the first Clerk.
