CrazyCholeBlack Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 To everyone in the IL-WI region looking for something fantastic to do this upcoming weekend ... Trail of History http://www.mccdistrict.org/Trail-of-History.htm Interpreters from across the country portray and demonstrate life as it was from 1670 – 1850 in the former Northwest Territory which encompasses present day Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and portions of eastern Minnesota. The event’s focus is to show the interrelationship between nature, man and cultural development. Cost is $6 per adult or $2 per child (ages 6-12) and senior citizens (60 years and older). Children ages 5 years and under are free. Be prepared for a mile long walk in the woods from the parking lot to the event. Perfect for a brisk fall day walk back in time! Be sure to come by the Voyageurs camp where Will Fiddle & I will be entertaining the public with English & French music of the 18th century. If anyone comes early enough on Sat I might even be convinced to share some of the fresh churned butter, cinnamon bread & strong coffee that have become a camp staple. Hope to see some of you there!
