In his later years the Hon. Samuel Lewis, the famous philanthropist and educator, long of Cincinnati, resided near Cheviot, upon a farm he owned there. He continued his labors for humanity almost to the end of life, often preaching in the neighboring churches. He died upon his place here, after a long career of usefulness, July 28, 1854.
At Cheviot, on the Fourth of July, 1832, there was a noteworthy celebration. Fenton's Cheviot infantry and Palmerton's Delhi infantry made a brave parade, escorting the orator of the day. General William Henry Harrison, to the Presbyterian church, where the exercises took place. Mr. Enoch Carson was reader of the declaration, and the Rev. Messrs. Williamson and Biddle were the chaplains of the day. Messrs. Price and Carpenter served as committeemen. The dinner was at Rush's hotel, where the popular old time song, "The Death of Warren," was given amid much applause.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 4,698 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Cheviot Fieldhouse between 1819 and
1975: 2,173 Fungi, 1,476 Animalia, 868 Plantae, 140 Protozoa, 21 Unrecorded, 19 Chromista, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A Schwartz, A. Braun, A. F. Braun and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
3 workings within 5 miles of Cheviot Fieldhouse: 3 past producers.
None of them still produces. What was taken out: Salt. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Cheviot, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1998 and 2024: 3 thunderstorm wind, 3 flash flood, 1 hail.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
No historic map-sheet match is published
for this property yet. That does not mean no map exists. This record needs

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
