Join us as we pay special tribute to our rich history during this designated week.  Local museums will offer special presentations, community walking tours, historical fashion shows, and more.  Native American singing, geocaching, and a variety of other events will all occur during this celebration.

This is really two events in one-part French voyager re-enactment and part traditional Powwow.  Visit the French encampments, watch demonstrations, visit vendors displaying authentic wares, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Native dancing and drumming ceremonies.  Located at the Father Marquette National Memorial, just off US-2 west of I-75.
