Pioneer Day in Worthington, Ohio
What fun it was to drive by the Orange Johnson home in Worthington and see the third graders playing games (typical pioneer games) dressed in costume. The Orange Johnson House is Worthington’s finest example of early architecture. Orange Johnson was born in 1790 and came to Worthington in 1814 as a comb maker.
Today, the Orange Johnson home is a museum open to the public and enjoyed by many students in Worthington and neighboring schools. The Worthington Historical tried to acquire the site but the expense was too great. In 1963 the property was bought by Toll Gate Square upon which Toll Gate Condos were built. They were one of the first condos built in Worthington. They are very popular as you can walk downtown and enjoy our wonderful village.
