STEUBENVILLE — From tossing a tomahawk to making rag dolls, there will be two days of hands-on-history as Historic Fort Steuben presents its annual festival, Ohio Valley Frontier Days, June 7 and 8.

Historic Fort Steuben, a reconstructed fort on its original site overlooking the Ohio River, invites visitors to meet the blacksmith, the candlemaker, the flintknapper and the re-enactors. They can tour the Officers’ Quarters, the Enlisted Men’s Quarters, the Commissary, the Quartermaster’s Store, and the Hospital as well as take in the panoramic view from the upper level of the Guard House.

Artisans will offer their crafts for sale from woodcrafts to jewelry. Danielle McMahon will have her Irish Cottage gifts, and for a second year, High Flight Herbs and Lavender Farm will be selling delightful lavender products as well as wood-turned items.

Frontier Dan will guide participants in the Tomahawk Toss, members of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment will portray the life of an 18th century soldier, and Baron von Steuben will teach drill to young recruits. Visitors can meet the archaeologists from Franciscan University of Steubenville and explore the ongoing dig on the site.

On Sunday, Bill Schilling will be in the exhibit hall playing and singing period and contemporary folk, traditional and folk-style tunes using guitars, mountain and hammered dulcimers, recorders, autoharps, ukuleles, jug and other instruments to entertain guests.
