Seasoned reenactors will come together at the Johnston Farm to recreate the timeline 1748 through 1862 for two days at the end of July.
The time period starting with Miami Indian village of Pickawillany and continuing to Camp Piqua represented the greatest historic significance for this area. The local events and people of this period had a significant impact on both Ohioan and American history.
A diverse assortment of activities camps and demonstrations will transport visitors back in time to one of the most exciting times in the state’s history. In addition to the re-enactments, visitors can visit the Johnston home as well as the Indian and Canal Museum. The General Harrison of Piqua, a restored working canal boat, will be on hand to demonstrate how the canal system revolutionized the transportation of goods from the Great Lakes all the way to the Ohio River.
Many entertainment, cultural, and historic venues utilize a banner printing service to help the public identify when they are nearing their destination.
The event takes place at the Johnston Farm & Indian Agency on July 30 and 31, 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, located in Piqua at 9845 North Hardin Road. When not watching the re-enactments, visitors can enjoy the museum anytime from noon to 5:00 pm or grab a canal boat ride at 12:30, 2:30, or 4:00 pm. Tours of the Johnston Home are held at 12:30, 2:30, and 3:30 pm.
