Piatt Castle, West Liberty, Ohio was a great place to view the Total Solar Eclipse. There were outdoor educational classes about the different celestial events during the last one hundred years, a viewing telescope, special certified glasses to look at the eclipse, and a house tour. I purchased a T-shirt to commemorate the day at the castle.
Below are pictures of the eventful day at Piatt Castle.
There were many aspects that made today memorable. The fact that outdoor education is still taught brings a reminder of how individuals and families interacted with each other. There is a present day awareness of how many individuals and families still interact with each other whether they realize a connection of when people came over from Europe to the early British Colonies to start a new life.
This photo of early Ohio settlements is shown because of the Piatt's involvement with the development of Ohio with many other families including both free men and slaves.
The Cincinnati Observatory Society was also present at Piatt Castle. A special telescope with filters was available for the view public.
