From preparing bunks for incoming visitors to opening a remarkable gift of handcrafted tinware, every moment captures the spirit of frontier life and the dedication to preserving history. Throughout the weekend, enjoy a rich blend of activities including bugle call demonstrations from the War of 1812, traditional music, black powder shooting, and hands-on blacksmithing.
