Mariemont will celebrate its 75th Commemorative & Renewal Project at 4 p.m. June 10, highlighting it with a historic tour of the John Nolen Pavilion and the refurbished Boathouse.

        The pavilion, which was planned in 1921 but wasn't built until last year, commemorates the Fort Ancient Indians who occupied the site from about 1450 to 1670.

        Records show that Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology conducted extensive excavation on the site from 1880 to 1911, using it as a training ground for archaeology students.

        The Mariemont Preservation Foundation Educational Program, which is part of the project, contains facts about the pavilion.

        Archaeologists excavated 990 cache-pits which contained animal remains, pottery shards, implements, shells and flint.

        Former councilwoman Christie Beatty, coordinator, said the entire project cost $682,000. The Thomas J. Emery Memorial Foundation helped to launch the project with a $75,000 grant in 1998.

        “We are pulling together loose ends at the boathouse,” Mrs. Beatty said. “This is a project that brings pride to the entire village.”

        The Boathouse was designed in 1923 by architect Charles Cellanius. It originally provided storage for boats for a lagoon. The lagoon dried up in 1942. The boathouse was used as a meeting place for Scout troops.

        Most of the original architectural designs have been maintained in the restoration. The porch ceiling and support beams have been redone in the original curvilinear fashion.

        Stones for the roof were obtained from Wales.
