Fort Cross - Colonial Life Field Trip

The La Mesa Co-Op is coming to the Julian area for a “Colonial Life” field trip at Fort Cross. We'd love to invite our Backcountry Co-op to join us! The field trip will feature the following activities (https://www.fortcross.com/colonial-life):

Blacksmith Demonstration: One of the most important trades of the Colonial era.

Surgeon Station: The tools of a field surgeon are put to use with explanations of why things were done the way they were.

Tinsmith: Create your own piece of tinsmith art, in the same fashion as the lantern used during Paul Revere's famous ride.

Dance Etiquette: Manners were important for gentleman and ladies during festive social gatherings of the time.

Farm Animal Visit: Raising your own livestock was so important during Colonial times.
