What's Happening
Upcoming Events
Second Sunday Acoustic Jam
Bluegrass and country, played the way it always has been — pull up a chair at the Tavern and listen, or bring an instrument and sit in. A regular get-together on the second Sunday afternoon of every month.
Blacksmiths (Phenix Forge)
Watch iron take shape over the forge the old-fashioned way. Live blacksmithing demonstrations at the Phenix Forge, with the smiths happy to answer questions as they work. Every fourth Saturday of the month.
Fall Festival at the Fort
Free admission (donations accepted) for a full day of fall activities: a quilt show and contest, craft vendors, food, and living-history demonstrations throughout the grounds. One of the fort’s biggest events of the year.
