In celebration of America 250-Ohio, the Ohio Statehouse will come alive with an American Revolutionary war encampment where visitors can step back in time to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of a late 18th-century military camp through music, historical reenactors and authentic demonstrations!

Participating historical groups include:
Captain Joseph Ogle’s Company of the Ohio County Virginia Militia
Heritage Fife and Drums
8th Pennsylvania Regiment
Citizens of the Ohio Country

"Two hundred and fifty years ago, Ohio was an outpost of the American Revolution as colonists fought for freedom and change. We are excited to give our visitors a glimpse of 1776 at our Continental Army Encampment on April 15," said Historic Site Manager, Chris Matheney, "Come experience how our young nation was forged through the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary War."

Nonprofit organization L.A. Catering, a division of LifeCare Alliance, will be providing free tasting samples of real-life recipes from the revolutionary time period!

Visitors and history enthusiasts are encouraged to explore this history encampment. For groups of 25 or more, please RSVP to tours@ohiostatehouse.org by April 14.
