Join Johnston Farm for an evening that takes you back to the time the world moved at four miles an hour at the end of a towrope. Their evening begins in the museum with a picnic style meal. After dinner, guests will board the General Harrison of Piqua for a twilight journey on the canal that is always full of surprises for each passenger.
This year, Johnston Farm is pleased to have canal era musician Russ Franzen join them as he presents a program featuring his compositions entitled “Songs of the Miami and Erie Canal.”
This is a reservation only event, so call early to book your passage for this popular once-a-year opportunity. For guest safety this year, they are booking 24 passengers each evening. The cost is $35 for adults, $30 for children 6-12, and $30 and $25 for Johnston Farm Friends Council and Ohio History Connection members.
