As part of the tradition, the residents provide refreshments for the singers at each stop. La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres cosponsored by the Fort, Les Amis, and the Prairie du Rocher La Guiannee Society. The event is open and free to the general public.<\/p>\n<p>Around 7 PM each New Year&#8217;s Eve members of the La Guiannee Society begin to assemble in preparation for visiting local homes and businesses. The tradition of la guiannee was brought to Prairie du Rocher by the French who settled the area in the early 1700&#8217;s. Prairie du Rocher is the one of the only North American French Colonial settlements that have continuously carried on the tradition of la guiannee.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival at a local home or business the group sings two verses outside, and then when invited in by the homeowner or business person the entire song is sung. After the singing has finished it is local custom that food and drink are offered to the singers. The group then proceeds on to the next stop. This process is repeated anywhere from 10-20 times that evening (depending on the number of stops).<\/p>\n<p>Local legend has it that homes\/businesses that are visited will have good fortune during the upcoming year.<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar so you don&#8217;t miss La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres in Prairie du Rocher, Illinois on December 31, New Years Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres, La Guiannee Society, Fort de Chartres<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px;

This site marks the location of the last of four successive French forts named \u201cde Chartres.\u201d Built in 1753 by the French during their eighteenth-century colonization of the Illinois Country, the massive stone fort was preceded by three wooden forts, with the first fort erected in 1720. Fort de Chartres served as the French seat of government and its chief military installation in Upper Louisiana from 1753 until 1765 when it was occupied by the British. In 1763 France ceded much of its territory in North America, including what is now Illinois, to Great Britain. British troops occupied the fort from 1765 until 1772, when encroachment by the Mississippi River caused a collapse of the south wall. Subsequently, the remaining walls and buildings fell into ruin.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nToday, the Fort de Chartres State Historical Sitefeatures an imaginative reconstruction of portions of the third Fort de Chartres. The fort gate, built in the 1920s, has been remodeled several times. Portions of the fort\u2019s walls were reconstructed on original foundations in 1989. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>Inside Fort de Chartres are the restored powder magazine, believed to be the oldest building in Illinois, two reconstructed stone buildings, and the exposed foundations of other buildings, two of which have been \u201cghosted\u201d in wood. The powder magazine is stocked with reproduction barrels and barrel racks. A combination museum and office building, built in 1928 on the foundation of an original fort building, houses exhibits depicting the history of Fort de Chartres and the Illinois Country. The large stone Guard House, reconstructed in 1936, contains a Catholic chapel furnished in the style of the 1750s, along with a priest\u2019s room, a gunner\u2019s room, an officer-of-the-day room, and a guard\u2019s room. Also on the grounds are an operating bake oven, a garden shed built of upright logs in post-on-sill construction, and a kitchen garden with raised beds of produce that would have been grown in eighteenth-century Illinois. \u00a0Recreational facilities outside the reproduced fort at the Fort de Chartres State Historical Site\u00a0include a day-use area with a picnic shelter and grills.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0;
