History fills your senses at the historical re-enactment at Pointe Basse
on Oct. 3rd and 4th 2015.
See life as it was lived at a French outpost during the fur trade
era...artisans demonstrating traditional crafts that were necessary for
survival--participants dressed in authentic reproductions of clothing
worn by people in all walks of 18th century life...the splendor of 18th
century military drills.
Smell the fragrances from kettles simmering over the open fires and the
pungent smell of wood smoke...molten lead, hot iron, and acrid haze of
black powder mingling with the scent of melting candle wax.
Taste the flavors from another century, as participants prepare
traditional foods over an open fire--parched wild rice with maple sugar,
spiced apple cider and roasted pumpkins filled with blueberries and
cranberries.
