The French Creek was once navigated by French and British explorers, missionaries and indians.    Evidence of this continues today as backyard gardeners and farmers continue to unearth French and Indian artifacts.

About The French Creek: 

 A new morning has begun in the growing town of Avon.   Residents continue to maintain the small town charm of this “bedroom community” of Cleveland.

The French Creek today serves as the heart of Avon’s historic district and the center of town.  The creek meanders through the hardwood forests of Avon and eventually makes its way to Lake Erie.

“We forget the the water cycle

and the life cycle are one”
