    Trappers were jacks of many trades. They explored new territory, negotiating and trading with local Native Americans. Learn about how trappers lived and worked in the 1840s, paving the way for emigrants just a few years later. During this event, you’ll see examples of game traps and how they work, see and hear musket demonstrations, and learn about some of the many facets of a trapper’s way of life from our docents. Visitors can examine fur pelts, create documents with a quill pen & walnut hull ink, or string trade beads to take home.
