    Launching an exciting new season of interactive and fun “Hands on History” activities, Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park presents a special “Hands on History: Trappers, Trades, and Treaties” event. Visitors to the Fort will step back in time to the 1840s to learn why trappers were considered “jacks of many trades” and experience how they lived, worked, explored new territory, and traded with local Native Americans. Docents will treat Fort visitors to musket demonstrations and share examples of many fascinating aspects in the life of a trapper. Fort visitors will have the hands-on opportunity to examine fur pelts, create documents with a quill pen and oak gall ink, and even string trade beads to take home.
