See “Tecumseh” and Meet Annie Oakley! Remember when our childhood included innocent and playful games of ‘Cowboys & Indians’?... Me, too! For those always asking about “new” short tours, here’s a really entertaini­ng one for you! While we won’t be doing any cattle rustlin’, riding in covered wagons, or seeing any sheriff’s posses ride by (at least I don’t THINK we will – ha!), we WILL step back into an era where history made its mark establishi­ng settlement­s, fighting for land rights, and cheering each other on to expand America westward. Come with us on this journey for an inside look at what it’s like to pioneer a new nation, and how Ohio played a significan­t role in that! Here are some highlights... ** “TECUMSEH” – The outdoor drama of the legendary Shawnee leader is labeled as one of the most mesmerizin­g dramas in the nation. Held under the stars, the spectacle surrounds you with live horses, cannons, and a dazzling battle sequence! (Performed rain or shine – only cx’d if dangerous weather conditions) ** Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the ‘Tecumseh’ theatre complex where cast members serve as your tour guides! The stuntmen give a dazzling display of stage-combat and flintlock firing. Learn how they recreate historical battles right in front of your eyes! ** Mule-Drawn Canal Boat Experience – Travel back to the 1870’s aboard the ‘Volunteer’, an authentic 60-ft. canal boat as you pass thru an original lock and view a working canal-era sawmill. ** Meet ‘Annie Oakley’ who will reminisce about her journey from a humble background to becoming a celebrated sharpshoot­er and female symbol of American West’s resilience and skill! ** Guided tour of Ft. Meigs along the Maumee River, and a visit to Ft. Ancient with its preserved earthworks. ** ‘Dig up the past’ with a Ranger at the Hopewell National Historical Park. ** A special visit to “The Wilds”! An extraordin­ary wildlife experience exploring this vast, open-range habitat that’s now home to rare and endangered species from around the globe ~ So fun! ** The National Road & Zane Grey Museum offers fascinatin­g American transporta­tion history - discover Mr. Grey’s unique contributi­ons to it all. ** What a wonderful ending... A visit to the Dickenson Cattle Company is always delightful as we’re given a tour of ranch life showcasing the care of their herds of cattle, and then topped off with a delicious dinner from the ranch’s own high-quality, grass-fed beef served in a rustic setting that captures the spirit of the American West!
