Basketmaking artists, Cheryl Petro, Linda Pasky and Phyllis Clark were busy showing and explaining their art. Joining them under the tent were Denise Wade of Thompson and Candace Barr of Madison, members of the Western Reserve Rug Hookers Guild.
Soap making, an apple butter stirring and apple cider pressing kept the interest of lots of children. Well known blacksmith Claar Butcher of Windsor worked up a sweat showing how tools were made in the early days centuries ago.
Civil War times were reflected by re-enactor Marvin Knasel taking on the role of an artillery soldier. Knasel and his wife shared bits of history about the Civil War era.
The Rev. David Evans, pastor of St. Peters Episcopal Church in Ashtabula, led a group of vespers inside the cabin at 6 p.m. Saturday. The Rev. Evans said the cabin was used also as a church meetinghouse in 1817.
“The first pioneers, who came here from New England, missed how to practice their faith. They used the Book of Common Prayer. Those pioneers formed a parish called St. Peters, which later moved to the Ashtabula,” the pastor said.
Today the festivities continue from noon to 5 p.m. At 1 p.m. the society will hold a brief ceremony recognizing three people, who helped restore the cabin and develop the grounds. The trio being honored are the late Gene Battles, John “Joe” Stevenson and Ed Andolsek.
