The Gathering at Garst will welcome visitors to the beautiful grounds of the Garst Museum located at 205 N. Broadway in Greenville, Ohio during the two day event on July 26 and 27. Cannons roar and horses trot down shaded streets pulling carriages as visitors enjoy a variety of sights and sounds during this unique gathering. The Gathering at Garst was created to celebrate the history of Darke County and the people who shaped it. It has received statewide recognition as a quality event that attracts thousands of visitors to this community located about 30 miles north of Dayton.

The theme for this year is “Native American Peace and Friendship Gathering.” This is the bicentennial of the second signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville. There will be representatives from different tribes in the Living History Encampment. Members of the The Archeological Society of Ohio will have an exhibit of Darke County artifacts and there will be an area where children can dig for treasures.

Many other exciting venues will take place including a return performance by a Beatles tribute band, The Cavern Beat, on Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. Other talented groups will also be performing throughout the two day event so be sure to check the website for updates. A Living History Encampment will come alive with cannon demonstrations, Civil War battles, and skilled historical craftsmen working their trades.

The Gathering at Garst has become well known for its high quality vendors and this year will be even better as artists, antique dealers, unique food vendors, skilled craftsmen, and beautiful garden exhibits await the visitor. The Gathering at Garst has something for every person young and old. It is well worth a visit to Garst Museum in Greenville Ohio on July 26 and 27. Admission is free to event. Regular admission applies to tour Garst Museum.
