"Stagecoach Era in Central Ohio"
presented by
Becky Cornett
at Municipal Building Community (East) Room
Monday November 17, 2025
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Description:
Becky's presentation contains information about the canal system, steamboats, early trains, and how taverns/inns were the center of community life, post offices, and places to get the news of the world. She shows Charles Dickens' travel route through Ohio - including Delaware (on the Sandusky Pike) - that shows how he took 3 modes of transportation. It's very instructive.

Women Were on the Frontier Too
Description:
Saturday November 1 was bright and a little chilly, perfect for the reenactment. RJ Basista and his friends, including younger reenactors and a woman and daughter for the first time described life on the frontier for a steady stream of guests. It was an educational experience for all. PLHS is very grateful for RJ's continued support.
