Reenactors will be demonstrating early life in Ohio, by portraying settlers ranging in time periods, from 1700 through 1865. Participants will demonstrate their skills in cooking, feeding their families, clothing them, laundry, building furniture, weaving, etc. We are also planning an evening “Lantern Tour” of the camp on May 6 at no charge. Participants are welcome to camp from Thursday night to Sunday.
Join us for an exploration of the settlement in the early days of the Northwest Territory in Ohio as we experience the lives of Native Americans, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the early Ohio Pioneer settlers all on the park grounds of the Wood County Museum.
