RELATED: Ren ovated historic cabin unveiled in Hamilton
Kathy and Ed Creighton of the Butler County Historical Society will demonstrate what pioneer living was like during the early 1800s, “including pioneer cuisine,” said Bob Sherwin, a member of the board of trustees of Historic Hamilton Inc., the entity that was the primary mover of the cabin’s restoration.
“He is going to be cooking things in that fireplace, ham-hock stew, cornbread and last time he made vegetable soup,” Sherwin said. “That will be provided to the people in attendance.”
“And she will be showing people how to shell corn, and they’ll both be dressed in period costume,” Sherwin said.
Men wearing buckskin will be there with their long-gun hunting gear.
Sherwin said it will be an educational experience for people of all ages.
The re-enactors had a similar event on Memorial Day, and planned another on Independence Day, “but then the tree (next to the cabin) got hit and started to come down, and so they had to cancel it, because they thought that big tree, which is now gone, was going to fall on the log cabin.”
