Throughout the Fort Crevecoeur French and Indian War Reenactment weekend, French and Indian War Reenactors will portray life in a military encampment, from the outfits they wore to the tents they slept in. French soldiers will march about in long-sleeve wool jackets and hats, including a long-sleeve undershirt and vest. Prior to a skirmish Sunday, a priest will address the French soldiers.<\/p>\n

About Fort Crevecoeur Park<\/strong>
\nFort Crevecoeur Park is located near Peoria and includes a reconstructed Fort Crevecoeur (about nine miles from the original location), a museum and a campground. French explorer Robert de La Salle (1643-87) helped the Peoria Indians build a fort in 1860 to defend themselves against the Iroquois. LaSalle made a deal with the local tribes to protect them from the Iroquois tribal league. LaSalle fostered good relationships with the tribes\u2014Fort Creve Coeur wasn\u2019t around too long though\u2014this original site quickly became abandoned as Tonti left to fortify Starved Rock. Tonti\u2019s mission to Starved Rock was to only end in failure though. However, the Fort Crevecoeur\u2019s seven man garrison quit their fort, destroyed the fortifications, and made a trek to Canada.<\/p>\n
