Evening on the Canal
Return to a time when the world moved at four miles an hour.
Sat., Oct. 1, 2022 • Noon–5 p.m.
Johnston Farm & Indian Agency, Piqua
Have you ever wondered what the Miami and Erie Canal looked like in the fall? Join us for this special afternoon at the Johnston Farm. Board the canal boat General Harrison of Piqua at 12:30, 2:30 or 4 p.m. for an idea of what “canawlers” saw in 1845 as they traveled across western Ohio at four miles an hour by mule-drawn boat. Take part in harvest-season activities and demonstrations at the restored home of U.S. Indian Agent John Johnston, hear stories of the Johnston family and events that took place there, and visit the Historic Indian & Canal Museum. Regular site admission applies. 937.773.2522 or johnstonfarmohio.com
