Where the Grassy Run Fork runs off into the East Fork of the Little Miami River, county history was made when frontiersman Simon Kenton and the powerful Shawnee Tecumseh skirmished over stolen horses and faced one another in April of 1792.
Three miles from that spot in Williamsburg will be the scene of the 16th annual Grassy Run Heritage Rendezvous to be held April 25-27.
Paying tribute to the extraordinary resilience and the innovation that was employed by our early settlers, the Grassy Run Rendezvous is an open-air, historically accurate depiction and celebration of what daily life would have been for the early area pioneers who settled the county in the mid 1700’s.
Keeping the county’s pioneer and frontier spirit alive by teaching our children about our shared unique and fascinating past is only of the many missions of the Grassy Run Historical Arts Committee, said Grassy Run president Ron Shouse.
