See what life was like back in the 1700s and early 1800s at Fort Massac State Park’s annual Fort Massac Encampment.
This annual reenactment of late-1700s Illinois life on the frontier prairie features blanket traders, merchants, military units, fife and drum corps, and period-style food from more than 20 vendors. The encampment offers military drills, mock battles, along with story telling and children's activities.
