Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8
KAREN MEYER'S passion for history began as a young girl and led her to complete a copy of an early Ohio settler's diary in her senior year. After earning a bachelor's degree cum laude in English
and Education, she became an Air Force wife, and over the course of nine years lived in places as far away as Labrador. Seeing new lands gave
Meyer a window on regional and national differences, and confirmed an appreciation for her own Ohio roots where she and her husband
settled and raised their family.
Meyer’s first published article appeared in Ladycom Magazine; and her story, "A Stroll Through a Maine Junkyard,” was published in Old Cars Weekly News & Marketplace. As an alumna of Otterbein College, Meyer wrote an article in Otterbein's Towers magazine about the relocation of a brick home in her community. That led her to delve into the history of her hometown college. She also wrote "Face to Face with God," the first in her series of devotions for Christian youth camp ministries.
Children relive the American frontier as Meyer presents hands-on workshops in soap making, bread making and leather work. Her knowledge of the Ohio River Valley and her love of the Lord weave an exciting tapestry of early American life.
