Lac Ste. Claire Voyageurs
Voyageurs, a missionary, a "gunman" (the guy with the "high hat") and others portrayed by the Lac Ste.Claire Voyageur re-enactor group, at their Lake St. Clair Metropark encampment site.
This was a most informative and entertaining two-day event, during which the reenactors "lived the life" with handmade clothing, simple tents, and engaged in the activities of people in the Great Lakes Fur Trade Era (1634-1763).
My wife, the family genealogist, has traced some of my roots to the French inhabitants of this era.
