News from the Board of the Burnett County Historical Society

The Board has been meeting every two weeks to try and stay on top of the Covid-19 situation. We've had a late opening; no school groups, and projects and rendezvous to get ready for. The Monday Boys (who typically work Mondays from 9-noon) have started to reform. They are currently doing great work on replacing the stockade wall and adding gates along the parking lot. There is much to do besides general maintenance, such as the Indian village and the docks. Please consider helping. If interested, contact The Forts.

May:
     Opening Weekend with its Plant Sale, was very successful on Saturday. Sunday was quiet.

June: 
       Reflections of Our Past had it's inaugural run on Saturday, June 20th and had a good turnout. Also going on was Yellow River Echoes, which is a historical re-enactment  of the time period of the posts.A smaller turnout of reenactors for that.

July:
       We are going ahead with the 30th Great Folle Avoine Fur Trade Rendezvous. This year will be July 23-26. We would really appreciate volunteers, you make it happen! If interested please contact The Forts. July 26th will also be our first Wild rice Pancake Breakfast of the year.

August:
      We are excited to be hosting the first Summer Music Fest on August 22nd. This will feature local artists. Think of it as Music at the Forts without the cold.
