The 45th Annual Fort Massac Encampment on October 19-20, 2019 at Fort Massac State Park\u00a0in Metropolis, Illinois will feature the thunderous boom of cannons and a tempting assortment of foods and activities from which to choose. It is more than an old-timey crafts fair, as it pays tribute to Illinois’ rich frontier history. See what life was like back in the 1700s and early 1800s at the Fort Massac Encampment, which will be held at the historic site. Historical reenactors and skilled craftspeople representing French, British and Americans gather at the Encampment to demonstrate the skills and lifestyles of early residents in this area.<\/p>\n
