Students will explore how Indians once lived in the Fort Hunter/Harrisburg area. They will learn how Indians obtained food, shelter, clothing and equipment. Activities include exploring a wigwam, hands on activities and games. Children will learn about the kinds of food, materials and water once used by Native Americans who farmed and hunted here in the 1300s and 1400s.

In historic Fort Hunter Mansion,  students will experience life in the 1800s.
