Homegrown National Park
2025-05-21 14:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Pickerigton Public Library Main Branch, 201 Opportunity Way, Pickerington, OH, 43147, United States
Learn about the Homegrown National Park movement and actionable steps you can take in your own yard and home.
The Homegrown National Park movement was born from the realization that our actions, even on a small scale, can collectively make a monumental difference in preserving biodiversity and combating environmental degradation. The premise is simple yet profound: by transforming our yards, balconies, and community spaces into wildlife-friendly habitats, we can create interconnected corridors that provide refuge for native plants and animals.

In this program we will discuss what action steps are being suggested to get your home on the Homegrown National Park map.
One of those action steps is forgoing the use of chemicals to control the mosquito population by taking the Mosquito Dunk Bucket Challenge. Five lucky attendees will receive a free mosquito dunk bucket set-up!
Although this presentation is geared towards adults, the entire family is welcome.
Registration is requested but not required.

Civil War RoundTable Presents: General Grant by Himself
2025-05-21 19:00 - 20:00 | KC Events Center, 343 E Walnut St, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
The Fairfield County Heritage Association has an exciting presentation for this Civil War RoundTable! Dr. Curt Fields will be visiting and performing as General Grant! Dr. Fields has portrayed General and President Grant in 22 states as he travels the nation presenting his portrayal of General and President Ulysses S. Grant. He researches and reads extensively about General Grant in order to deliver an accurate persona of the General. His presentations are in first person, quoting from General Grant’s Memoirs; articles and letters the General wrote, statements he made in interviews or wrote himself, and first-person accounts of people who knew the General or were with him and witnessed him during events. He is the same height and body style as General Grant and, therefore, presents a convincing, true-to-life image of the man as he really looked.

Admission is $5 at the door, and everyone is welcome! To learn more, visit FCHA’s Facebook page.

The Ergonomics of Gardening: A Physical Therapist’s Guide to Cultivating your Health
2025-05-28 18:00 - 19:00 | Keller Market House, 134 S Columbus St,, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
This spring, join Keller Market House for a workshop led by a physical therapist who approaches gardening as a practical framework for personal and communal health! In this one-hour session, you’ll explore the basics of gardening ergonomics: how to move and think in ways that reduce strain, prevent injury, and support long-term physical function. They’ll address common aches and injuries that arise from time spent in the garden this time of year and offer clear strategies for both prevention and recovery. Beyond body mechanics, you’ll also consider how gardening habits influence other aspects of health, including physical activity, nutrition, emotional well-being, and a sense of connection to place and community. Whether you’re new to gardening or have years of experience, this class offers useful guidance for making your time in the garden more enjoyable and sustainable.

Tickets cost $20 for the general public and $15 for Friends of the Market members. The registration deadline is Monday, May 26th, so hurry and register at this website! About the teacher: Sara Schiffbauer is a physical therapist and the owner and operator of Columbus Urban Farms, a small urban farm with big plans to grow good food for good. They are committed to helping people better understand how their bodies function in order to support long-term health and well-being. In their physical therapy practice at OSU, they focus on mindfulness, injury prevention, and empowering people to take an active role in their care. Their work on the farm reflects similar values—emphasizing thoughtful, regenerative practices that contribute to both personal and community health.

Scipio Smith Day – Statue Unveiling
2025-05-29 16:30 - 17:30 | 135 West Main Street, 135 West Main Street, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
Join the Fairfield County Heritage Association for the unveiling of the Scipio Smith Statue in Downtown Lancaster on Scipio Smith Day!

The celebration will take place in the Park National Bank parking lot located between the Ohio Glass Museum and the Fairfield County Municipal Court building (The Columbian). After the celebration and speeches, the statue will be unveiled
Don’t miss this historic event!
[There will be limited seating for those unable to stand; the parking lot will be closed for the celebration]

Who was Scipio Smith?
Scipio was a former slave who was brought to Lancaster and received his freedom on May 29, 1821. In 1825, he founded the A.M.E. Church (present-day Allen Chapel) and placed a school inside so that black residents could have a place to worship and receive an education. In 1827, he opened his own tinsmith shop which made him the first black businessman in the city. Scipio overcame slavery, racism and disability (he lost a leg as a child) to beat the odds and open doors for many who came after him. His story is inspiring, powerful and something worth celebrating!

Star Trek & Worlds Beyond Opens
2025-05-31 13:00 - 16:00 | Decorative Arts Center of Ohio, 145 E. Main St., Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
Since its 1966 debut, Star Trek has become one of the most iconic franchises in television and film. Creator Gene Roddenberry envisioned a united Federation where diverse species work together to explore the universe, overcoming prejudice and promoting an optimistic, inclusive future.
Star Trek has inspired scientific advancements, from flip phones to video technology, while captivating audiences with its imaginative worlds. The franchise has expanded beyond the screen into toys, books, conventions and global exhibitions, making it a cultural phenomenon.
Now, the Paramount Archive invites you to experience Star Trek up close in a special exhibition that showcases nearly 150 unique props, costumes and images from this beloved universe. Among the artifacts featured in Star Trek & Worlds Beyond are phasers, communicators and insignia from the Kelvin timeline, Romulan insignia, Uhura’s earpiece, and Starfleet props and costumes from the various timelines. The Trumbull County Historical Society and Museum of Science Fiction & Fantasy Arts is also collaborating with DACO to include Star Trek props from the museum’s recently acquired collection of more than 500 props from various sci-fi movies and television shows thanks to a donation from Modern Props’ John Zabrucky
A dynamic lineup of programming will accompany this special exhibition, offering engaging talks, a Star Trek film viewing at the Drexel Theatre, and unique opportunities to explore the impact of Star Trek on science, technology and popular culture.
