History
CRPD acquired this property in 2024. This property is named after the Ambos family, who owned a large portion of this area in the 1800s. The Ambos Farm was a 120 acre estate owned by Edmund’s second cousin Emil Ambos. Ambos, a wealthy Columbus liquor merchant, purchased the property from Phillip and Eva Schwartz in March of 1886 as a country retreat where he built amusing follies and rustic log cabins, on the grounds surrounding two spring-fed lakes. Ambos willed part of the estate to the City of Columbus with the intention it be used as a park, but plans for Ambos Park were denied by the City Council in 1898 on the grounds it was too isolated.
