Planting Worthington’s Gardens

Article Presented By Kingston National Bank…

(Chillicothe) – Have you ever wondered how gardens are planted at Adena Mansion and Gardens? What was the favorite vegetable of Thomas Worthington, sixth governor of Ohio? Do you know what people ate from their gardens at the time Ohio became a state?

The Ross County Historical Society will present a Junior Member Program entitled Planting Worthington’s Gardens in partnership with Adena Mansion and Gardens. The program will take place rain or shine from 9:30am to 12:30pm on Wednesday May 29th, 2024 at Adena Mansions and Gardens Visitors Center, 847 Adena Road Chillicothe, OH. This RCHS Jr Members program is free for Jr Members and $10 for non-members.

Come help plant Thomas Worthington’s vegetable garden at Adena Mansion and Gardens. Learn about the gardens and agricultural landscape of Adena, and what was common practice of farmers and gardeners around the time of Ohio Statehood. Come enjoy a little work and a little play, refreshments and take home a little piece of agriculture from the early 1800s.

There is limited space for this popular program, to register please call or leave a message at The Ross County Historical Society: 740-772-1896 or info@rosscountyhistorical.org

Come get your hands dirty, your shoes muddy (an extra pair of boots or shoes might be a good idea), and experience the living history of Planting Worthington’s Gardens.
