| Title | The Burntridge Cabin in its original stages |
| Description | The Burntridge Cabin was built by Jesensky and his hiking friends on Elmer B. Wight's property on Egbert Road in Bedford, Ohio. Wight was the founder of the Pathfinders, a group of Cleveland engineers who worked to trace and map Native American trails in Ohio. The signs on the cabin read: 'Police Shelter Keep-Out' and 'Prevent Forest Fires.' The signs were made to discourage vandals from entering the cabin. |

| About the Artist | Joseph D. Jesensky was born in Apatin, Hungary on the Danube River in 1906. His family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when he was six years old. At the age of 16, Jesensky received a scholarship to the Cleveland School of Art for life drawing and landscape. While an art student, he began exploring the Cuyahoga Valley, beginning what has been a long and productive career as an artist, naturalist, historian and writer. During World War II, Jesensky worked in the blueprint department of the Corsair war plane at Goodyear Aircraft. After the war, he worked for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in the graphics department where he created layouts, designs, cartoons and presentation portraits. |
