Living History Symposium

(Cross-posted from my own blog: this isn't a 4th US event, but it is highly relevant)

You are cordially invited to a Living History Symposium on Sunday, March 26, 2017, from 12-4 in the afternoon. Guest speakers will be presenting on a variety of mid-nineteenth century subjects, to share their research and help you 'round out' your impression. The current offerings include:

*Dining in the 1850s & 1860s

*Early Photography

*Food Preservation

*The Genteel Hobby of Gardening

*Yeast and Innovations in Leavening

*Mrs. Mowett's Interactive Etiquette 

A tour of Historic Fort Steilacoom will commence at noon. The presentations will be held in Quarters 2, starting at 1pm. There is no charge to attend; visitors are advised to bring a water bottle. Feel free to invite your friends!

Please RSVP on the Facebook event, so we know how many attendees to expect.

Monroe Mountain Men Show

Last weekend, the 4th hosted a recruitment booth at the Cascade Mountain Men's Annual Gun Show in Monroe, WA.  While the authoress was unable to attend, popular report indicates a successful event.  Mr. Ryder's new signs were displayed to great effect, certainly assisted the group's efforts.
