Jeffrey Park

The back view of Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley, OH. Over 100 years ago, Jeffrey Mansion was built as the residence of industrialist and early Columbus City Mayor Robert Jeffrey. Jeffrey served as mayor from 1903-1905 and willed his home to the city of Bexley in 1941. Today the mansion and surrounding grounds are a city park. There is a ghost story attached to the mansion stating that Jeffrey hung himself in his home before granting the city rights to his property. However, records list Jeffrey’s death occurring in October of 1961, a full 20 years after bestowing his home upon the city.

In the floodplain behind the mansion there is just over a mile of trails through a forested area with Sycamore, Cottonwood, White Pine, Blue Spruce, Sugar Maples and Oaks along Alum Creek.
