It’s always great here at 1812Blockhouse when we can promote our namesake local landmark, the Blockhouse in Mansfield’s South Park.

Such is the case today, as Richland Early American Center for History (REACH) has announced that the Blockhouse and the adjacent log cabin will be open to the public. The fun will take place this Saturday, June 12, and this Sunday, June 13, from 1 until 3 PM.

If you haven’t been to South Park recently, you can observe work on the blacksmithing and woodworking shop and on the nearby garden.

Guests are invited to bring a picnic lunch.

We were in South Park just a week ago and took the photos below. See you there!


Send us your news — of an announcement, event,
club news, fundraiser – whatever! It’s easy to do online.
