Originally, Tara - A Country Inn was owned by Charles Koonce along with 1300 acres of land in what was once called Clarkville. During the nineteenth-century, this one-bustling town on the Eire Canal Extension was once the halfway stop between Lake Erie and Pittsburgh.
However, the railroads came into prominence, and Clarksville essentially became a ghost town and inundated when the Shenango Reservoir was built in the 1960s. What still remains after what is now underwater, is his beautiful historic home.
When the railroad came into prominence (railroads have been around since ~1800 with steam engines predating them), Clarksville essentially became a ghost town and was inundated when the Shenango Reservoir was built in the 1960s. With most of Mr. Koonce’s land now underwater, the highest point in the area still boasts his beautiful historic home.
