We hiked and took photographs. It\u2019s also located close to what is our current home and what was formerly his parent\u2019s home when we were dating. A personal memory of the trip was seeing another photographer drop one of his lenses onto the rock and into the river water, when we were climbing rock with a small waterfall. We felt his pain at the loss of the lens.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_59\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"800\"]<img src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/geographyssed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2022\/09\/SandstoneCliff_overlooking_Chris_800px_20220828_141244.jpg\" alt=\"Large sandstone cliff overhanging hiker on trail at South Chagrin Reservation\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59\" \/> Large sandstone cliff overhanging hiker on trail at South Chagrin Reservation[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAs an artist who has sculpted, painted, and produced photos and digital prints, I can appreciate Henry Church Jr.'s work and what it represented to him. The rock sculpture has weathered and has been vandalized since he finished it in 1885. His family has recently raised awareness about restoring the sculpture. See the article titled, \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chagrinhistorical.org\/saving-henry-church-rock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saving Henry Church Rock<\/a>\" on the Chagrin Falls Historical Society &amp; Museum's website.\r\n<h2>What the place may mean to others:<\/h2>\r\nFamilies or groups may think of it as a place to meet and catch up on the lives of friends and relatives. Families can bring and grill food there. They might enjoy swimming in the shallow waterfalls if it is a hot summer day. Some people walk their dogs along the river and allow them to swim in the water too. Others might use the trails for hiking or horse back riding.\r\n\r\nSome people might attend educational programming at the Look About Lodge. Others might play polo on the northern polo field. In the winter, families can go sledding at Miles Rd sledding hill, or ice fish.\r\n\r\nA few descendants of Henry Church Jr. would like to see the rock sculpture stabilized and restored. They would also like to replace a garage in the area with a barn that contains a blacksmith's shop. It would contain photographs from the past and serve as an educational area. They formed a committee and consulted with the Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA) to complete an assessment of the sculpture and to make recommendations. Henry Church's family has a deep historical connection to the land and sculpture.\r\nFor a long time, the sign for Henry Church Jr.'s Rock bore the words \"Squaw Rock.\" The \"s\" word, as it has come to be known, is offensive to indigenous American women. The sign has recently been updated to remove the \"s\" word. The land originally belonged to indigenous Americans. They were pushed west and onto other reservations as white settlers took over. People who are the descendants of those who were indigenous to the area may consider the land more sacred than the average visitor looking for a weekend get away. They also might feel a sense of loss because the land now belongs to Cleveland Metroparks.","rendered":"<h2>Relative Location<\/h2>\n<p>South Chagrin Reservation is part of the Emerald Necklace that makes up the Cleveland Metropolitan Parks.
