Living
History Encampment at Gathering is Growing
The 8th Gathering at Garst will return to the grounds of Garst Museum
on July 28 and 29. Many new and exciting additions to the event
are being planned including the opening of The Living History
Encampment on Friday evening July 27. The candlelight and
campfire glow of the encampment is beautiful at night and many people
do not get to see it in the evening. Visitors will be able to
tour the encampment Friday evening and join in the activities and
ceremonies planned for around the bonfires.
If you visited last year, you saw the expanded areas in the encampment
that offered educational demonstrations by reinactors portraying,
Native American Indians, cannon firings, and skilled historical
craftsmen. The encampment chairman, Galen Delk, and his committee will
be asking for community support to help the encampment grow.
Committee members from the encampment, dressed in period attire, will
be stopping in local businesses seeking donations to help with expenses
in the encampment. Donations can also be sent to Garst Museum,
Attn: Gathering at Garst Encampment, 205 N. Broadway, Greenville,
OH 45331.
