Visitors to the education center will have a chance to watch as participants celebrate the lives and achievements of our ancestors.

Visitors will see a pioneer rendezvous compete with a variety of historically authentic games of skill, crafts, and trading items. Visitors will also have a chance to talk with pioneers at their campsites as the take a leisurely walk around the Seno forest trails.
Some of the skills that will be on display include wooden toy making, flax processing, woodworking, yarn spinning, trapping, frontier surveying, music and games.
