ortsmouth Raceway Park was once a camping ground for the Shawnee Indians and other tribes, but the white men came along and ran the Indians off the land. June 3, 1799 the town of Alexandria was plotted out. Eventually, many floods forced the white man from the land. During the years of 1813 and 1814, one by one the settlers moved to higher ground, settling in what is now Portsmouth. As the years passed, this abandoned area was converted into farmland.

Much later, in the 1970's, another white man by the name of Boone Coleman farmed this same land. Some people say he never was a farmer, just walked around in a straw hat and pretended he was. Anyway, Boone raised a lot of corn here. Rumor was, it went for livestock feed, but some say it was used to make a potent liquid for medical purposes. Now the plot unfolds and becomes very weird.
