Dornoch Estates and The Woods of Dornoch are two neighborhoods under the same Homeowners Association in Delaware, Ohio. The neighborhood consists of over 300 single family homes, developed on individual lots situated around Delaware Golf Club, one of the finest public golf courses in the state of Ohio. Development on the community began in 1997, and continues to this day with lots being sold currently by Rockford Homes.
Before development on the neighborhood began, the area was famous for one of the most important radio telescopes in the world called the Big Ear. “The observatory was part of Ohio State University’s Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. Construction of the Big Ear began in 1956 and was completed in 1961, and it was finally turned on for the first time in 1963.” According to an article on Wikipedia, “the observatory completed the Ohio Sky Survey in 1971, and from 1973–1995, Big Ear was used to search for extraterrestrial radio signals, making it the longest running SETI project in history. In 1977, the Big Ear received the Wow! signal.”
