On Friday February 20th, the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution presented living history at Donovan Elementary School in Lebanon.

Mike Gunn presented a display of period artifacts used during the American Revolution.  Mike also discussed with the students how the Revolutionary War soldiers fought, how they lived and let the students get real close and handle some of the artifacts including a 2 pound canon ball retrieved from a battlefield.

This presentation was intended to give the students a feel for history.  Mike was dressed as a Lagoon soldier who was a lineal descendant of Mike.

Many questions were raised by the students and they were very interested in the presentation.

Unfortunately, the presentation was limited to one class at the school.

Our goal is to help youth understand the events surrounding the American Revolution and give the a sense of what it was like during those times.

Thanks to the school and supportive administration and teaching staff.
