Life in the west in the 19th century offered the promise of a new life, if you were willing to leave everything you knew behind and take the road to the unknown.
Visitors are encouraged to step back into the 19th century at this interactive family event. You'll imagine being a family that has just arrived in Missouri to settle here, or a family traveling west to uncharted territory. What arrangements need to be made and what supplies will be needed? You'll trade, barter and interact with other families to prepare for your trip.
To help you on your journey, the historic pioneer village will be transformed into a living history town with men and women preparing for travel.
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Daniel Boone Home and Historic Village in Defiance. Cost is $12 per adult and $6 per child.
