Centerville-Washington History January Speaker Series Program

Centerville-Washington History presents: “Frontier Between the Miamis: Pioneers in Ohio 1783-1800,” presented by Paul Cooper, retired Air Force Brigadier General and pilot with 35 years of service, on Tuesday, January 16 at 7 pm at the RecPlex West auditorium, 965 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd.

With the signing of the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War, Americans soon crossed over the mountains from the East Coast looking for new land and new economic opportunities in Ohio country. Conflicts often resulted with the native people who inhabited the land. Floating down the Ohio River was the main pathway west. As more settlers arrived they left the villages on the Ohio and moved up the Miami Valley to create new towns.

Paul Cooper has always been fascinated with Frontier History as his grandmother told stories of covered wagons heading west past the home where she grew up.

This FREE presentation is open to the public. Reservations are not required. Donations welcome. Enjoy refreshments starting at 6:30 pm and the program from 7-8 pm in the auditorium. For more information, call Centerville-Washington History at 937-433-0123 or visit centervillewashingtonhistory.org.
