Daily life in a Civil War-era town is the theme of this program. Participants will visit the village's Schoolhouse for some typical activities of the time. They also will tour the General Store, Colonel Crawford Inn, and selected village craft shops. The day's activities will include gardening, caring for animals, roping a bed, stuffing a mattress, and making a scarecrow. Playing parlor games, learning etiquette lessons, and discussing the day's fashions will be part of the fun.
Families get firsthand experience working a prehistoric Indian dig site.
This simulated dig, located on the grounds of the historical center, allows participants to learn more about the first Ohioans as they uncover and analyze relics using modern, scientific methods. Please dress appropriately and bring a sack lunch. Children are invited to a garden party at the Doctor's Residence where they will enjoy an afternoon of lemonade and cookies while learning about the language of flowers and listening to floral poems. A pressed flower design also will be made to take home. All Rights Reserved.
