(Casper, Wyo.)- “Fremont Family Funday” returns to the Fort Casper this Saturday for a workshop on “Historic Fire Making.”
Join educator, Ms. Jayme as she shows you how the Lakota Tribe built fires with a bow drill, how the mountain men built fires with a flint and steel, and how the soldiers lit fires with the matches they called “lucifers.”
Please note: not everyone will be able to succeed in starting a fire, but we will sure have fun trying!
Drop in between 1:00 and 3:00 pm; no reservations are required and all supplies will be provided. This program is open to all ages and is free with museum admission. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
