An
experienced long hunter could stay toasty warm on a cold winter
night with nothing more than
a fire, a wool blanket or two, and piece
of canvas for a three sided tent.

Encampment at DCP
Darke County Parks invites everyone to visit their log house on
Saturday, January 7th from 9am to 11am or 1pm to 3pm. The Wilcox family
has graciously extended their hospitality and the use of their opulent
log home to a group of long hunters traveling through the Ohio
territory during these bitter months. They will have a roof over their
heads and a warm fire to rest by at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. Come
visit with the Greenville Muzzleloaders and friends to learn about the
long hunter and frontier way of life of 200 years ago. For more
information about this or any other program offered by the Darke County
Park District, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
