Hands on History: Step into Fort Ancient

Join us at our Base Camp for a hands-on, family-friendly experience celebrating creativity, community, and the foodways of the Fort Ancient people. This special event invites children and adults to explore a variety of make-and-take crafts while sampling Indigenous-inspired foods prepared with simple, traditional ingredients.

Alongside the craft activities, guests will enjoy a small tasting menu inspired by foods commonly grown or gathered by Indigenous cultures of the Eastern Woodlands.

Whether you’re a parent looking for an enriching outing, a child excited to craft and explore, or a community member interested in local history, this event offers something engaging for everyone. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, learn about traditional practices, and take home your handmade creations.

Come spend the day connecting with nature, creativity, and culture with us!
