The Pioneer Days Festival event is forced to cancel
The design for the 2020 Pioneer Days Festival crock auction features the Gnadenhutten John Heckewelder Moravian Church.
The celebration of Ohio’s oldest existing settlement has been cancelled due the COVID-19 pandemic. Gnadenhutten’s Pioneer Days event, which has been held yearly for more than 25 years, will continue next year at the Gnadenhutten Historical Society’s Gnadenhutten Memorial Park and Museum, 352 S. Cherry St. Admission is free.
The Tuscarawas County Health Department told me we can’t have Pioneer Days,” said Mayor John Heil. ‘We can’t have more than 10 people and they can’t camp here because it’s not a state-run certified facility.”
