Our Featured Event
Friday, June 23rd through Sunday, June 25th. Yellow River Echoes re-enacts the life of fur traders and their Ojibwe neighbors known to have been active during the North West and XY Company's residence here during the years of 1802-1805. View a “working fur post” atmosphere in and around the North West and XY Company posts. Visit an Ojibwe village, and observe the campsites of re-enactors as they prepare food, participate in fur-trade era games, and demonstrate skills. This year will feature a canoe floatilla and a 22 foot long batteau boat. Admission to this event is included in your General Admission fee. Join us on the deck of the visitor center on Saturday, June 24th for a Summer Booya! More information can be found here. |
