CRESTLINE — If you long for the good old days — the really, old ones — stop by Lowe-Volk Park this weekend and discover what it may have been like to live, or fight, during the Revolutionary War.
The Crawford Park District will celebrate another version of its Living History Days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. The park is on Ohio 598, about two miles north of Galion and about a mile north of the U.S. 30/Ohio 598 exit.
Scheduled to attend are Revolutionary War period demonstrators and vendors, along with military and native American camp reenactors.
New this year to the history program are Butler’s Rangers, who will assist Native Americans in a reenactment of the capture of Colonel William Crawford, who the county and Colonel Crawford schools were named for. There will be four opportunities to board a bus and take a tour to the Battle Island Monument and the Colonel Crawford Burn Site Memorial in Wyandot County.
Other opportunities include a presentation by Shequonur, a Shawnee indian storyteller; and a children’s nature walk with a focus on plants indigenous to the Crawford County area.
At 8 p.m. Saturday, lantern tours of the woodland area in Lowe-Volk Park will begin. They will focus on the life of Native Americans.
The festivities open at 9 a.m. Saturday with a flag-raising ceremony led by local scouts and the National Anthem sung by United in Harmony, a men’s chorus.
