June 19th Adena Mansion Visitor Center Event Rescheduled

Presented By McDonald’s, I’m Lovin’ It!

(Chillicothe) — Due to rain, “The Worthington’s and the Revolution” has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 10th from 10am-3pm, at the Adena Mansion & Gardens Visitor Center. The event was originally scheduled for June 19th.

Children completing grades four through six are invited to join the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Ogle Company of the Militia at Adena Mansions and Gardens for a day of fun and learning about colonial times.

The day will begin with presentation of the flag by the Ogle Company and a round of shots. Throughout the day, participants will play games and enjoy food from the era of the American Revolution. These games were later played by the Worthington children and the “soldiers’ food” is the same the elder Worthington males ate while in the wilderness and defending the colonies. Children will have the opportunity to practice crafts and cooking that were practiced in the colonies and at Adena.

Thomas Worthington was a surveyor and frontiersman. Children will learn the skills and techniques used by those early surveyors, and see the tools used. A Revolutionary War Soldier’s routines and daily life will be shared with the children by a member of the Militia. Additionally, the children will learn about the Worthington family’s connection to the Revolutionary War.

Lunch will be served to participants and they will take home to share the crafts and foods created throughout the day.

The program is free and open to the public.

Delma planned the music program for these times in so the community could stop in on their lunch hour.  An example of her sacred music selection included playing pieces from English Composers, G.F., Handel and Henry Purcell, on June 18th.

Here is the schedule going forward:
June 25: Mendelssohn and Schubert
July 2: American Hymnody
July 9: Gregorian Chant and Renaissance Gems
July 16: French Organ Works
July 23: Christmas Carols in July
July 30: Mozart and Bach

Delma Rouleau’s playing during the Friday program has been described as- “Breathtaking, and in the sanctuary of the beautiful church with such great acoustics it is even more spectacular.”
