In Peru--The River Teays

Did you know we are sitting on the top of an underground river? The Teays river at it's widest point is fifteen miles across. The River was discovered some one hundred years ago by geologists working in the Ohio Valley. The River was the result of glaciers which shaped the terrain. It passes through several states. The river begins underground in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, flows across Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and then into Indiana. From Peru, it then goes southwest to Lafayette, across Illinois to the Mississippi River.

Peru, Wabash, and other communities draw their drinking water from the Teays River. Peru has three wells that are located in Oakdale. Who would guess "the river runs through it"--underground--and in Peru.
