Join us for the Johnson’s Island Civil War Military Prison Park Day to help clean up and maintain the site of Johnson’s Island Civil War Prison.
Advance registration is required. This is important so we can plan to have enough food for everyone!
Registrants will receive further instructions by email.
Please meet at the site (GPS: 4005 E. Baycliffs Drive, Lakeside Marblehead, OH 43440) at 9:00 a.m. for a brief introduction to Johnson’s Island.
Wear your outdoor work clothes (including gloves) and dress for the weather (there is no shelter at the site). Please bring garden rakes, wheel barrows, tools for cutting branches, and/or chain saws if you can.
We will be clearing brush and sticks that have fallen over the winter to clean up the site, clearing trees around Fort Johnson, doing some general landscaping, and other similar projects.
Lunch will be provided. After lunch, there will be a tour and time to view the fort.
