Our first two-day event of the 2018 season commences on
June 9'th and 10'th with the Voyageurs, Settlers and Natives Weekend with special guests, the Ste.
Claire Voyageurs. Over a dozen voyageurs will portray, teach,
and interact with visitors, explaining the rich history of the French
and Indian Fur Trade era. They dress in authentic 1700's
clothing while demonstrating skills and accoutrements of that era.
One voyageur has many furs to display, along with handmade jewelry
and other interesting items used during that period. Another
voyageur wife has articles that would be used in the home, and she
will explain and demonstrate beeswax candle making. There will
also be outdoor cooking, rope making, and much, much more. The group
loves what they do and are delighted to impart their knowledge to the
visitors.
