    Cleveland Metroparks celebrates Ohio's pioneer days at the
    annual, free fall event - "Cedar Valley Settlers Celebration

    5 p.m. at FrostvilleMuseum and Rocky RiverNatureCenter in Rocky
    River Reservation in North Olmsted.



     



    Visitors can take a walk back through time to experience what
    life was like for the early settlers of Northeast Ohio.  The
    nearly one-mile long Pioneer Trail connecting Frostville Museum and
    Rocky River Nature Center features pioneer crafts and skills,
    activities, food sampling, live music, and more!  The pioneer
    skills and activities include: candlestick dipping, basket weaving,
    playing with pioneer toys, rug weaving, Dutch oven cooking, butter
    churning, working the two-man saw, and more!  A potpourri of
    traditional foods can be sampled, such as fire-roasted turkey,
    biscuits with freshly-churned butter, apple cider, apple butter,
    and more. 



     



    Visitors can also talk to pioneer-costumed folks and visit a
    mini-encampment of a pioneer excursion camp.  



     



    Also, browse the great merchandise selections of EarthWords
    Nature Shop.  Additional refreshments will be available for
    purchase, too.



     



    The FrostvilleMuseum grounds feature live music on the Main
    Stage, an area for square and contra dancing, storytelling, food
    sampling, and pioneer skills areas.  Visitors can tour six of
    the FrostvilleMuseum historic buildings, too.



     



    This year, the Festival once again features two nationally-known
    acts. Taking the Main Stage at



    2 p.m., hear Missy Raines & the New Hip, featuring 7-time
    winner of the IBMA Bass Player of the Year Missy Raines.  And
    closing the day at 4 p.m., the purveyors of nu-folk and bluegrass
    Crooked Still performs, coming off their newest release Some
    Strange Country
    . 



     



    Be sure to bring blankets/lawn chairs to enjoy the Main Stage
    performances.
