Auditions for Glendower Historic Characters

The Warren County Historical Society announces auditions for the Glendower Historic Characters beginning March 27 through April 28, 2012. Anyone wishing to volunteer as a historic character should call 513-932-1817 to set up an interview. 

The Glendower Historic Characters (GHCS) are an all-volunteer group who portray people from Warren County’s history. Many of the GHCS act as tour guides at Glendower Historic Mansion. Others portray Lebanon’s dear departed at the Lantern Light Cemetery Tours and the Pioneer Cemetery Tours.  

Persons interested in volunteering should like history and be willing to study their character in detail. Volunteers can also play more than one character.  

Some of the characters we will portray this year include:

 Lebanon’s founder, Icabod Corwin and /or his wife Sarah

 Mathias and/or Patience Corwin, parents of Governor Thomas Corwin
