Living history presenter Arn Kind will present The French Voyageur in North America’s Fur Trade at the Old Courthouse Museum on Wednesday, February 5th with school and group programs at 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. and a public performance at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.
The French Voyageurs were among the first Europeans to explore and make maps of this region. Meet an authentically attired French Voyageur as he teaches us about South Dakota’s and Minnesota’s first business; the Fur Trade. Through his colorful portrayal of a voyageur, Mr. Kind will have the audience involved in interactive living history of voyageurs and/or Dakota or Ojibwa Indians.
Arn Kind has been an educator for 48 years, bringing his educational and entertaining presentations to groups of all kinds. A very important part of Arn’s presentations are the artifacts, uniforms and equipment that the audience will be able to observe, handle, and interact with as part of their hands-on experience in living the history.
