Harmony Hill Museum has a new pavilion that was build by students from Grant Career Center.
Harmony Hill Museum is the homestead of Major General William Lytle and the oldest standing structure in Clermont County.
Students from Grant Career Center recently assembled and built a pavilion for the Harmony Hill Museum.
The students took on the project under the direction Grant Career Center’s Construction Technology Instructor, Kenny Carter, and Placement Coordinator, Chad Graybill.
“They worked diligently in some of the hottest temperatures of the summer,” said Harmony Hill Museum Vice President/Grant Writer, Liz Betemps. “Showcasing their skills and their hard work they completed this project in an amazing short span of time. “
Betemps explained that the pavilion will be used for Pioneer Day programs for children in the community.
The new pavilion will be dedicated as the James E. Lefferson Pavilion during the Williamsburg Harmony Hill Association’s upcoming Sept. 10 event celebrating the 253rd Birthday of Maj. Gen. William Lytle.
The celebration will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 299 South Third Street.
Festivities will begin at 2:00 p.m. with the buildings and exhibits open. Light refreshments will be served throughout the afternoon. At 3:00 p.m., the program will begin with the recognition of Life Members followed by the dedication of the new pavilion. At 3:30 the Williamsburg Community Band will present a concert.
Everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the event.
The museum is open the first Saturday of each month from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and for special events.
