BELMONT COUNTY, Ohio – Enjoy local bluegrass music, storytelling and history in Belmont County this weekend at the Creekin’ Festival on Saturday in Jerusalem.

Two booths will feature this opportunity: Crystal Lorimor will have maps and family name lists of early landowners in Captina Creek watershed taken from her project with Belmont County GIS Director Anthony Atkins and Belmont County Recorder Jason Garczyk.
The festival will also have an oral history storytelling booth manned by volunteers from Ohio University Eastern’s Rural Teacher Corps. They’ll be recording stories old and new of life along Captina Creek.
