About the event
“On the Edge of a New Nation: Lives of Licking County’s Earliest Pioneers.”
Step back into the early 1800s and explore the remarkable stories of the men and women who first called Licking County home. This presentation traces the county’s transformation from a dense wilderness into a thriving community—guided by the courage, ingenuity, and sheer determination of its earliest settlers. Discover who they were, why they came, the challenges they faced, and the legacies they left behind in the land, the culture, and the enduring character of Licking County. Join us as we uncover the foundations of the place we know today.
Presented by Howard Long, Executive Director of the Licking County Historical Society.
This event is free and open to the public through the Bryn Du Life Local series. Please reserve your seat today.
