1800s Harvest Jamboree

Venture into the past at Shawnee Lookout and experience the vibrant world of Ohio pioneers at the 1800s Harvest Jamboree! Join Great Parks for a delightful weekend celebrating the bountiful harvest season of the 19th century. Immerse yourself in the frontier spirit – kick up your heels, savor mouthwatering treats like apple tansey and onion pie, and engage in homesteader hijinks with thrilling tomahawk tossing and pioneer games. Step inside a real 1800s schoolhouse, play classic games like stick and hoop, the graces, and trundle hoops, and challenge your strength with a two-person saw. Get creative and make your own whirlygigs, ragdolls, and candles. It's an afternoon adventure filled with history, fun, and the flavors of the past – an unforgettable journey to the heart of 1800s Ohio!
