Description:

From Chippewa River Rendezvous Website:

It has grown to over 4000 visitors over the weekend. Admission is free for this two day event and is as educational and it is entertaining for the whole family. The thousands of attendees are able to walk along the banks of the beautiful Chippewa River and travel back through time to the late 1600s and learn about the history of Wisconsin and the people who once lived here. From the Ojibwa to the French, English, Irish and Scotsmen, to the pioneers of the western frontier. You will see pre-1840 Fur trade and Civil War camps and Artillery. Visitors are able to sit with a blacksmith, a Spinner of wool or a Dyer or Cloth. They can try their hand at making an arrowhead or even fire. This event gives people the chance to experience life in a tipi, a single pole lodge or a Civil War sibly and learn how our forefathers made soap, clothing, bows and arrows, bullets and knives. Or visit with a trapper as he shares his knowledge of trapping, skinning, preserving hides and trading furs.

Special guests that will be appearing this year are Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. They will be present on Sunday and will present two very unique and entertaining presentations. In addition, the Rendezvous Days provide primitive games and competitions for all ages including Fry Pan Toss, Hawk & Knife Throw, Liars Contest, Treasure Hunt in the Hay, and Cat and Mouse. There will also be prize drawings, silent auctions, historical demonstrations, worship service, delicious food and a large modern day flea market, car show, craft fair and Bountiful Farmers market as well as Historical Trader Row.

Find all of this and more the fourth weekend in August at Mill Yard Park in Cornell, Wisconsin.
