A few weeks ago, we visited Fort Folle Avoine in northern Wisconsin. It’s the site of an old fur trading camp from the 1800’s.
The weekend we went, interpreters of all ages showed a living history of the time, including this historical sport of lacrosse.
It was a very cool experience – I promise more photos to come!
