Tecumseh Outdoor Drama

This weekend we joined Denny, Sandy, Mike, Becky, Gina, and the kids for an overnight adventure in Chilachote, Ohio. Our destination was the Tecumseh outdoor theater. This outdoor theater is very unique. It produces a drama each evening that tells the story of the battles of the Shawnee native Americans against the US Army in the mid-1800s. The setting of the stage is placed within the natural woods, complete with a small pond, adding to the ambiance. The drama wraps around the audience from three directions so you feel that you are a part of the action. There was a full moon that added even more to the drama. Here is a brief history of the warrior, Tecumseh: Ohio History.

It is ironic that we went to see this drama last weekend since we visited Fort Recovery on a whim just two weeks ago during a Sunday drive. Fort Recovery is the site of two of the major battles between the US Army and the Shawnee. Fort Recovery History
