"Come out, enjoy the beautiful weather, and visit our annual Green on the Green Festival! 70+ vendors will be set up on Worthington’s Village Green – right next to Worthington’s fabulous Farmers Market. There’s a lot to do!"

The City of Worthington's page has details about what there will be to do at Green on the Green Saturday and also says  " FREE event t-shirts to our first 500 visitors "

Happy 10th Anniversary to Fritzy Jacobs, in Old Worthington:

The Fritzy Jacobs website describes the store as a  "lifestyle boutique in the heart of Olde Worthington."   Fritzy Jacobs has a lot of cute stuff.  

Fritzy Jacobs, the store at 635 High Street at the corner of High Street and New England had an anniversary party Wednesday evening to celebrate ten years of life and business on High Street in Worthington.

The Real Living HER video about Worthington features the owner of Fritzy Jacobs.  I don't even know when Real Living HER shot that video.  2004? 2005?  

Ten years is not that long in the scheme of things, on High Street in Old Worthington but in 2012 there have been a lot of recent changes on High Street.

the Journey to Settle Worthington,  Ohio  - a mural.

Saturday in Worthington you could visit the studio of Lynn Bird overlooking the Worthington Green and see the mural she is painting.  And I did. 

 Worthington's Historical Treasures -  May 2012 Opportunities 

The  Worthington Historical Society said:

"You Are Cordially Invited… to see Lynn Bird, Worthington artist, in her studio, as she paints the mural "Six Weeks and Seven Hundred Miles"

Lynn Bird's studio is upstairs from Wren House at 693-1/2, Suite 102. 

The Worthington Historical Society site also said "--just go up the stairs and turn to the right"  to find the "Out On A Limb Studio, home to Bird Graphics."

So I did.

The mural celebrates the journey  to Worthington and the early settlers from New England.  The mural when completed will be displayed in the Orange Johnson House Museum.

Worthington Farmer's Market

The summer season of the  "Olde Worthington Farmer's Market' starts next Saturday, May 12, 2012. You will have three opportunities to visit the Olde Worthington Farmer's Market in May 2012!

Worthington Farmer's Market

Typically the 1st Olde Worthington Farmer's Market there is a plant sale, flowers, herbs... There are also meat, cheeses, baked goods and more.   Last year Worthington had Green on the Green the same day as the first, Olde Worthington Farmer's Market of the summer season (the winter season of the Worthington Farmer's Market ended, last weekend.)  The Old Worthington Business Association page I find online is still referring to the first Farmer's Market of the summer season in 2011.

Plant Day

The front page of the Worthington Historical Society site (link above ) refers to  Plant Day and has a special invitation to an event at Wren House on May 12, 2012: 

"You Are Cordially Invited… to see Lynn Bird, Worthington artist, in her studio, as she paints the mural "Six Weeks and Seven Hundred Miles"

Lynn Bird's studio is upstairs from Wren House at 693-1/2, Suite 102.  The Worthington Historical Society site says "--just go up the stairs and turn to the right"  to find the "Out On A Limb Studio, home to Bird Graphics."

The studio will be open on May 12 from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.    The mural celebrates the journey of the first 100 settlers in Worthington. 

A final event in May to look forward to is the Worthington Memorial Day Parade on  May 28, 2012

More about this Worthington event later this month

 Discover Worthington Ohio's historical gems!

May is National Preservation Month.  A month to "Discover" hidden gems according to one preservation site.  The "gems"  are historical gems... the nice thing about Worthington is the historical gems are not well hidden.  Worthington is full of preserved history.  Worthington is a New England village that was transplanted to the midwest.  A community planned in New England and founded in 1803.

Even if you are not in Old Worthington or Worthington, and just in Central Ohio there is history in your own backyard, on the north side of Franklin County in the City of Worthington. You can discover historic treasures just walking the streets of Old Worthington, North Street to South Street and Morning Street to Evening Street, the original Village of Worthington planned in New England and founded in 1803.   The neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places as a neighborhood.  Rush Creek on the south end of Worthington is another neighborhood that is a historic district.

Individual buildings and sites in Worthington are also registered.  You see plaques on many of the buildings in and around Old Worthington and historical markers. 

PreservationNation.org says of May:

"May is National Preservation Month and this year’s theme is “Discover America's Hidden Gems.” Communities from coast to coast are filled with unexplored historic treasures—and May’s the month to celebrate them!" 

Worthington's Historic Treasures include: 

The Old Worthington neighborhood is a historic district

Worthington's Ancient History 

Worthington's Rush Creek is part of Ohio Modern
