Forting Up

Imagine finding yourself approaching a beacon of rest and resupply with nothing but the clothes on your back. You are miles, days, beyond the fringes of civilization and a wooden palisade is all the stands between you and the untamed wilderness. Danger lurks within the shadows, but opportunity arises each day with the sun. Join the men and women of Martin’s Station and immerse yourself in the lives of those who helped to forge this great nation and open America’s “first” west.

This program is designed to take living history and experimental archaeology to a new level. Participants will find themselves transported into the 18th century and receive a once in a lifetime experience.

This is a first come, first serve, fee-based program with limited participation.
