NORTA, Inc. is a private non-profit organization which owns the portion of the Wabash Cannonball Trail running through Henry, Fulton, and Williams counties. NORTA's purpose is to promote the development and operation of the Trail within the three counties owned by NORTA, as well as the segment within Lucas county. The organization was founded in 1991 as "The Friends of the Wabash Cannonball Trail". In 1992 the group incorporated as Northwestern Ohio Rails-to-Trails Association, Inc..
NORTA, Inc. is comprised of a group of dedicated volunteers and supporters whose efforts were instrumental in the acquisition of the abandoned railroad corridor that had been operated by Norfolk Southern Railroad. NORTA volunteers have worked diligently to prepare the corridor for use as a recreational trail. Group activities include clean-up days, fund-raising, landscaping and light construction. Meetings are held regularly and a newsletter is published quarterly.
NORTA's funding comes primarily from donations, memberships, and fund-raising events. There are no tax monies, or State or Federal funding involved. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law under IRS section 501(c)(3).
