Overview of the Historic Baseball Game

A wonderful event happened in Ashland Ohio today. A large group of people gathered to play baseball the way they used to in the 1860's, wearing traditional uniforms and using traditional equipment. This is an overview of the field they played on and in the coming days I will post more images from this day with details about the teams and how these events came to be.
