UPSTREAM, THE NEAL FAMILY BUILT THEIR FAIRY TALE HOUSES AND OPERATED A THRIVING FRUIT FARM. THE LAND WAS PURCHASED BY THE CLEVELAND GIRL SCOUTS IN 1937 AND ENCLOSED FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE GIRLS. IN 2015, THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BY THE CITIZENS OF RICHFIELD. IT IS GOVERNED BY THE RICHFIELD JOINT RECREATION DISTRICT (RJRD).
