Voyageur Rendezvous 'A Traveler’s Gathering of the Fur Trade Era
May 17th-18th,
2008
Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park
Hebron,
IN 46341

$2.00 per person, children 7 and younger free.
Educational, historic encampments of French voyageurs, Native
Americans, and military units. Music, storytelling, concessions,

The Fur Trade Era was an adventurous time filled with people trying
to secure a place to conduct trade and control commerce in the New
World. One area of interest was the Grand Marsh, with its more than
two million acres of wetland abundant with beaver and waterfowl. At
Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park, we recreate a looking glass into
that 17th and 18th century history with
reenactors portraying British and French militia, French-Canadian
canoe men, called Voyageurs, Native Americans, and many others who
lived in or traveled through the Grand Marsh of Northern Indiana.
