The Darke County Park District invited Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR members to the open house and ceremony at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on July 22 to celebrate the acquisition of a replica peace pipe for permanent display in the center’s Tecumseh Room.

Chapter members attending the peace pipe dedication were Helen Wright, Karen Burkett, Linda Riley, Shirley Hughes and Debbie Nisonger.
