Fourth Graders visit
Johnston Farm - Piqua, Ohio
An Ohio Historical Society Site
 

 


Fourth graders visited the Johnston Farm in Piqua (Ohio) as part of their study of Ohio History. The farm appears much as it did in 1829. Costumed interpreters helped the students understand early Ohio farm life and the challenges faced by settlers and Native Americans early in the 19th Century. The students also rode on the General Harrison (below), a replica canal boat that offers tours along a restored mile-long section of the Miami and Erie Canal.
