Gathering at the Garst offers family fun

Come See Us at the Gathering at Garst, July 29-30, 2023 across the Street from the Garst Museum, 205 N. Broadway, Greenville, OH  45331

Scoundrels Alley is a family-friendly look at the very lowest of society in early America-the destitute poor and criminal. Hear about what life was like on the bottom in early America. Visit the “Honest Days Work” dirty jobs museum and learn what options for survival you might have if you became destitute. Stop by the Scoundrels wall and see if any of the “not-so-legal” jobs sound like something you would be willing to do instead. Then wander over to the Museum of Curiosities and be fascinated by the novelties of the ages. Join the Scoundrels for games that will teach you the secret language of the criminal gangs or even let you choose the type of criminal you might have been.  But, BEWARE!   There were punishments that go along with those choices, so choose carefully!

On Sunday morning, you might also join us as Parson John leads in an 18th-century Divine Service at 10 a.m. at the Bower in the encampment.
