Submitted photo - Mary Powell, front left, and Kevin Fick, Eastern technology coordinator, worked with Eastern students, Cassidy Cleland, Tyler Barber, Tanner Jenkins, Maddie Rigsby, Lindsay Rigsby, front, left to right; and students Kendra Fick and Haileigh Bush, and teacher, Krista Johnson on the video project.
The goal of Mary Powell, a Chester Courthouse volunteer, was to prepare an informational video on a salt kettle from the 1800s and its relevance to the thriving salt industry in Meigs County during that time period. The kettle was donated by George Hausser to the Courthouse Museum to be added to a growing collection of historical artifacts already on exhibit there.
The students working alongside their teacher, Krista Johnson, and the school’s technology coordinator, Kevin Fick, with assistance from Powell developed the video which will soon become available for use by the public in research and other educational pursuits.
The project taught the students not only about the history of pioneer life here in those early days and the industry which supported it, but reinforced skills needed to develop an informational video.
