Crown City River Pirates Bluff Treasure

Lost Treasure OH • Gallia County County
Description
1876 Gallia County legend of Ohio River pirates burying about $24,000 on a bluff near Crown City after a holdup — never recovered according to compiled regional guides.
Historical Notes
Crown City sits on the Ohio River in Gallia County where nineteenth-century river commerce attracted outlaw bands. Ohio treasure compilations place roughly twenty-four thousand dollars from an 1876 robbery in a bluff cache above the river. The story links Gallia County to the broader Ohio Valley pirate corridor shared with West Virginia and Kentucky lore.
