Frontier Spirit 1799 presented each year in Alley Park, Lancaster Ohio in September by the Frontier Players Association

In April of 1798, Captain Joseph Hunter, a bold and enterprising man, emigrated to Ohio from Kentucky to settle on the Zane's Trace in an area later known as "Hunter's Settlement" (now part of Lancaster, Ohio). Starting slowly, soon other settlers began emigrating into this untamed region. By the fall of 1800, the town of "New Lancaster" was established and in December of that year, Fairfield County was organized by proclamation of Territorial Governor St. Clair.

This drama focuses on the new settlers and their associations with the hardy pioneers who had come before and challenged this exciting land of opportunity called the Ohio Territory.

The Frontier Players Association, is dedicated to presenting Fairfield County and Central Ohio early history as a wholesome family oriented experience. We make early, real historic persons come alive and invite the public to interact with them and become a part of "Living History".

If you have limited mobility and are unable to make the hike on our history trail, enjoy the many activities in our historical village. Special performances will take place through the day.
