Another great opportunity with Caesar's Ford Theatre, Inc. and Great Council State Park.
On Juneteenth, Friday June 19, please join us at Great Council State Park between 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for conversations about the historical figure, Caesar. Caesar was a Black man, marooned with the Shawnee Tribe in the 1770's. He lived during the time when the Shawnee town of Chillicothe moved to the Little Miami River where Great Council State Park is today. The waterway and the Ohio State Park, Caesar Creek, carries his namesake. Our guest speaker for the day will be Kane Stratton, screenwriter/director for Caesar's Ford Theatre, which is an American Indian led production company whose work specializes in 18th century historical interpretation. Mr. Stratton will share research about Caesar, and the work he and CFT do to honor the man's legacy.
Also, join us for a 1pm tour of the museum and a 3:15pm tour of the prairie.
