“Wedding at the Portage” Historic Reenactment to be held September 12
The Historic Indian Agency House will once again welcome a talented group of historic reenactors on Saturday September 12, 2015. This year’s theme is “Wedding at the Portage,” and will feature 1830s frontier-style nuptials. All festivities will take place in and around the Agency House.
Reenactments will be held in the morning and afternoon. Beginning at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., visitors will have a chance to tour the House while members of the wedding party decorate the parlor and wedding cake, and dress the bride and groom. Wedding festivities will begin at 10:30 and 2:30 with a “Run for the Jug,” followed by the ceremony and period dancing.
Admission to “Wedding at the Portage,” which includes a guided tour, cake and punch, is $7.50 for adults, $6 for seniors, $3 for students, or $18 for families. Admission is free for active duty military and their families, veterans, and children ages five and under.
All proceeds from the “Wedding at the Portage” fund the continued operation of the Historic Indian Agency House, which is owned by non-profit group The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Wisconsin.
More information about the Agency House and the “Wedding at the Portage” is available online at agencyhouse.org, or by calling (608) 742-6362.
