Experience Colonial Era life at the 20th Annual Womens Primitive Skills Weekend on May 17-20, 2019 at the Paul Bunyan Rifle Club in Puyallup, Washington. The Womens Primitive Skills Weekend is a weekend for women to share crafts, skills and conversation and to step back in time to the “Mountain Man/Colonel” era. This was the time period between 1780 and 1840 in North America. We learn to do and make those things our ancestors used to survive in the primitive world of trappers and traders. We have women who attend from all over the US and Canada. Early registration is advised since we fill up fast.
