Enduring Skills Weekend at Historic Indian Agency House

Enduring Skills Weekend! Hands-on learning & discovery for all ages

Try your own hand at more than 20 different historical skills from blacksmithing to flintknapping, hand quilting to 19th century tavern games, historical toy making to 1800s social dancing, and so much more! Ages 5 through adult.

Many historical skills and techniques would be lost to time were it not for those who continue to practice and research them to this day. Try your own hand at an exciting sampling of skills that have endured through the centuries or have been re-created through research and experimentation. We have a fantastic lineup of Enduring Skills stations for adults and kids ages 5 and up.
