The Great Folle Avoine Fur Trade Rendezvous
Step back in time at the Great Folle Avoine Fur Trade Rendezvous, a vibrant living history experience of over 100 authentic pre-1840s encampments along the banks of the Yellow RIver where two competing fur trade companies wintered from 1802 to 1804.
Take a tour of the re-created fur posts, then visit with reenactors showcasing essential period skills. Witness the smoke and thunder of black powder shooting and the silent flight of traditional archery, and try your hand at tomahawk throwing.
Shop Trader's Row, offering a treasure trove of frontier goods for those looking to take a piece of history home. Traders display a stunning array of period-correct clothing, animal skins, and rustic camp furnishings, along with handcrafted jewelry and beadwork. Whether you are searching for utilitarian camp gear or fascinating decorative items, the variety of wares provides a true window into the craftsmanship of the era.
