Did you happen to go to 'Ye Olde Mill' where they make Velvet Ice Cream?

 

Nice pics!

^No, I didn't know the mill existed.

It's a neat little place, although I don't think I have been there since I was little. Now I'm thinking I might have to take the wife over there for some freshly made ice cream.

One of our Uticas, anyway.

 

Another Utica is in Warren County, near Lebanon. It is a placename at the intersection of Utica Rd and Old Route 122, near US 42. A now defunct railroad once went through 'our' Utica.

 

And the Old Mill in the big Utica is a fun stopover.

^The Village of Seven Mile in Butler County was also known as Utica for a time, but stayed with the Seven Mile name because of Ohio's other Uticas.

Thanks!

What a fascinating hamlet.  Ohio's hand blown glass heritage never ceases to amaze.

Sweet-looking village.

 

Was Utica a beneficiary of the gas boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Ohio and Indiana? That gave rise to a thriving glass industry throughout some parts of those states around the time that the plaque lists.
