History
Stansel Park was named after the Henry Stansel family
that settled in Washington Township. Henry Stansel came
by horseback in 1801 to select a 200-acre tract along
Sheehan Road near the Warren County line. He cleared
some land for a corn patch and put up a log cabin. Then
in the fall of 1802, he brought his wife and family of
five young children from Kentucky to their new home.
The park includes the restored foundation of a
springhouse originally built in the early 1800's.
Stansel Park was acquired through open space transfer
in 2008.
