The property, which is at 1359 Peru Creek Road in Montezuma, contained the Maid of Orleans mining claim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lorch said the Summit County Open Space Department purchased the property for open space because it includes a portion of the Lenawee and Peru Creek Road trails. The area is an important area for wildlife, as well, he said. Lorch also noted that a long-time concern with the property was that plowing could affect winter recreation in Peru Creek Basin.<\/p>\n<p>Lorch said the department will restore the areas that were graded, such as the original homesite and driveway, to natural conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/summit-county-open-space-department-purchases-4-9-acres-in-montezuma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenawee Trail is a 3.8-mile out and back outside Keystone Resort that is rated difficult.
