Tour of 80 E. Olentangy St., the former E.J. Sharp House
Host Gretchen Bonasara Greets a Guest
It was a beautiful October evening, perfect for a short walk across the street to see the current incarnation of 80 East. Turnout was beyond expectations and everyone seemed to enjoy touring the facility and chatting with host Gretchen Bonasera. It is very rewarding to see how 80 East honors the past and simultaneously offers a modern structure.

Pioneer Encampment
Noise and Smoke
It was a perfect early November day for the encampment. RJ Basista and his friends entertained the visitors with stories of the Ohio frontier in the days before statehood. The reenactors demonstrated camp life, played games, cooked, and demonstrate how a musket works. We were especially pleased that so many children attended and learned about the history of early Ohio.
