The "Goshen Horse-Thief Detectives" was organized on January 16, 1892 and chartered their Constitution & By-Laws on February 3, 1900.
They were an official arm of law enforcement and had the power to "arrest horse thieves and other felons" (Bill No. 467, Volume 84, O.S. and Amendments)
Recently, an original Constitution was discovered and preserved by the Goshen Township Trustees in Ohio. (click on the Horse-Thief patch, left, to view the original Constitution)
Until 2008, the organization had been dormant. To learn more about the organization, please read the news articles located on our NEWS page.
Looking ahead, our mission no longer includes a law enforcement component. However, many believe our future is much more exciting. We are now focused on developing, constructing and maintaining a trail system running from Stonelick Lake, through Goshen, and connecting with the Loveland Trails.
In all, we anticipated the first trail segment will extend over 12 miles.
