It is mid-May in the year 1765 and after a four-day journey leaving Fort Michilimackinac the Voyageurs have arrived in their canot du nords – northern canoes – at La Baye. They have brought their goods to trade for furs and other items that the indigenous peoples have accumulated through the fall and winter months. Hear the stories of the Voyageur’s travels and witness firsthand a day in the life of these hardy men. Experience how the trading was conducted between the native tribes and the merchant posted at La Baye, as your learn about history of the fur trade that was once under French control, then regulated by Great Britain after 1760.Special experience! Each afternoon, join the brigades and watch them row south along the Fox River then return and portage back to camp!
General admission applies and may be purchased the day-of. Reminder that members are FREE!
