McVey Memorial Forest is located near State Route 9999 in Randolph County, Indiana. Located within the forest is Cherry Grove Cemetery which contains many historical grave sites from a local 19th century settlement known as Steubenville. With the exception of posted signs and Cherry Grove Cemetery no other evidence of Stuebenville's existence is apparent, making it a "ghost town". The site also contains a memorial for three fallen soldiers from the War of 1812.[1][2]
