The Indiana Frontier Experience will take place at Historic Tunnel Mill in Charlestown on April 25-26, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day
Featuring immersive and interactive Indiana-based history from the period 1800-1816, the event will bring to life the days of pre-statehood in the Indiana Territory. Visitors will encounter the pioneers and settlers that carved homes out of the wilderness, the Native-Americans who lived there, the tradesmen who brought their skills, plus surveyors, farmers, politicians and river-men of the period.
Enjoy a full cross-section of early American life in the Indiana Territory with demonstrations, craftsmen, native camps, stump speeches, battles, bare-knuckle boxing, and a Sunday morning church service!
An $8 parking fee benefits the John Work House restoration. Concessions are available each day from troop 149 of the Boy Scouts of America.
