Celebrating twenty five years of historical education, the “Grassy Run” organization will kick off this annual event on Friday April 29, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. with its very successful school day program. Children from all over the Greater Cincinnati area will converge on Williamsburg, Ohio, Clermont County for this one of a kind historical educational event.
With over fifteen historical educational stops, the children will be able to observe first hand the trials and tribulations of the first settlers who came to this beautiful yet still dangerous land to raise a family.
The children will embark on a journey and will be able to Touch, Hear, See, Smell and Taste history. “What a way to learn!”
