Shawnee Prairie
Log House and Blacksmith Shop Open
Ever wonder what life was like for the early European settlers on the
Ohio frontier? Imagine living in a log house every day or working in a
blacksmith shop to earn your living. On May 14th and on Saturdays
throughout the month of May from 1pm to 4pm at Shawnee Prairie Preserve
west of Greenville on State Route 502 come visit the settlers and
blacksmith as volunteers demonstrate what life was like here 200 years
ago. Hear the hammer and anvil ring, listen to tales of life on the
frontier, and imagine that the modern world doesn’t exist for an
afternoon. For questions or more information about any other parks or
Park District programs, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165
or email info@darkecountyparks.org.
