Caesar Creek Pioneer Village Festival

 
My daughter and I visited the Caesar Creek Pioneer Village in October. The buildings and  log houses are from local families that settled in the area. They were saved from destruction and brought here to be restored so future generations could enjoy them and see how our pioneer lived. The Pioneer Festival has reenactments and volunteers dressed in clothes of the period.
