Visitors can step back in time to the days when frontier fur trappers met with fur traders and buyers during a re-enactment festival at Pere Marquette State Park in Grafton Sept. 6-7.
The second annual Pere Marquette State Park Rendezvous will be a traditional pre-1840 rendezvous, with buckskinned re-enactors portraying primitive traders and campers. There will be period demonstrations, black powder and longbow shoots, camp music, and food common to days on the Illinois frontier.
The public is invited and admission is free to the Pere Marquette State Park Rendezvous, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7.
