When Fort Dobbs was constructed in 1756, approximately 40 families lived within several miles: a space referred to as “The Fourth Creek Settlement.” While farming was the main source of income for many households, others relied on their skills as tradesmen to earn their livelihood. This living history event will feature on-going demonstrations of many such trades, as well as skills that were necessary to keep any household functioning, including shoemaking, carpentry, and blacksmithing.
