Worthington Bicentennial Wagon Train
The City of Worthington and the State of Ohio celebrated the Bicentennial of their founding in 1803 by partnering to present the Bicentennial Wagon Train – The Path to Statehood. Designed to honor Worthington’s and Ohio’s early settlers and recognize their accomplishments and courageous spirit in the face of many hardships, the Wagon Train is one of the Signature Events of the Ohio Bicentennial Commission and the Worthington Bicentennial Committee.
The Wagon Train was a recreation of the wagon train which brought settlers from Granby, Connecticut to Worthington in 1803. It was as authentic and true to the 1803 era as possible and practical. The Wagon Train began in Martins Ferry, Ohio at the Ohio River and made its way west to Worthington, where it arrived just in time for the July 4th & 5th Homecoming Celebration.
