Summary
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.
