Sunday, May 21, 2023

Peek into the lives of those who would have lived or traded along the waterways of the Midwest more than 250 years ago when the marshes were a source of valuable furs desired by merchant traders to take back to Europe.  Meet Native Americans, French-Canadian canoe men, called Voyageurs, British and French militia, early settlers, and many others.

This is a family-friendly event with lots of fun things to learn and experience for visitors of all ages.

  • Arrival of Voyageurs by canoe
