Frontier Spirit 1799

Sep 25, Sep 26, 2010
11 am - 5 pm. Join us and experience the trials and tribulations that the first settlers in the Ohio Territory endured as they fought for and carved out a home by walking the trail featuring 5 or 6 scenes from early Fairfield county. This is a step back into time that can be enjoyed by all ages. A large village has sprung up showing the life of the early settlers with demonstrations by skilled craftsmen of cooking, soap making, blacksmithing, spinning, weaving and more. The marquis tent provides a place for music by many musicians on various period instruments, speeches by local dignitaries and various skits. Games and activities for children are also part of the village entertainment. Concessions are available at very reasonable prices, with snacks, drinks and food-including bean soup cooked in iron kettles over an open fire. A church service by a circuit preacher is featured at 900am on Sunday morning. Bring the family and enjoy a little bit of living history. This is a free event, but donations are greatly appreciated. The Frontier Players Association, is dedicated to presenting Fairfield County and Central Ohio early history as a wholesome family oriented experience. We make early, real historic persons come alive and invite the public to interact with them and become a part of Living History. If you have limited mobility and are unable to make the hike on our history trail, enjoy the many activities in our historical village. Special performances will take place through the day.
