Join us for an illuminating evening as Debbie Deal from the Ohio Genealogical Society brings to life the journey of New England families who ventured westward to Ohio in the early 1800s. Through engaging storytelling and rich historical detail, Deal will explore how these settlers shaped the cultural, civic, and architectural foundations of Muskingum County.

Discover the values they carried, the challenges they faced, and the legacy they left behind—from town planning and education to faith and community spirit. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a genealogy buff, or simply curious about the roots of our region, this program offers a meaningful look at the people who helped build Ohio from the ground up.

 Free and open to the public
