Seven Eagles is our Historical Education Center; the name EARTH Center (Art surrounded by Environment and History, i.e. E=environment + ART + H=history) is an effort to embody varied elements of educational opportunity at the Center.
The Center is located at16486 Wapakoneta Road, between the historic Victorian Village of Grand Rapids in northwest Ohio, and north of Rt. 6. The Center is an ideal outdoor living history site with its 40 acres of Black Swamp woods, two-acre pond and open meadows. The Center boasts the only site to have a 40’ Woodland Indian longhouse and 20’ wigwam, a Scottish Tavern, Trappers Lodge, Blacksmith Shop, 218 year-old Pioneer Log house, Trading Post and Marlow Education Hall in northwest Ohio. The Center’s facilities are open for school tours, scout events and festivals on an arranged basis.
School Field Trip Tours are one of our most popular activities where students come into contact with authentic characters and re-live history of early Ohio's Black Swamp Era with presentations in the Native Longhouse, Pioneer Log Home, and trapper/trader Catfish Inn.
Overnight scouting events are the second most popular activities where scouts spend one or two nights in their own lodges and do scout activities during the daytime along with some Native American and/or early newcomer activities.
