In days gone by, many household goods were made by hand and sold by artisans during market days that would bring the whole community together. A Richmond event will offer a taste of this experience, and many local businesses will be taking part.
Fort Boonesborough State Park will be welcoming a variety of merchants, artisans and many others for its annual Spring Trade Days, which will run throughout the weekend. While many will come for the opportunity to do some shopping, there will be lots more going on, and the whole occasion will offer a taste of life in the 18th Century.
Traders, Native Americans longhunters, militia members, and scouts will all be taking part in the celebration, and many of these will be dressed in period costume. There will also be camps to visit and music to enjoy, and the vendors will have a variety of 18th-Century style goods on sale.
Admission to this activity is free with regular paid entry to the fort. A printing services company can design signage and other printed items that look as if they stepped right from the history Books, and these can help to build the historical atmosphere of an event like this.
This Richmond area celebration of the past will be held on the weekend of May 23. Additional details as well as a listing of other events hosted at the park can be found on its website, which may be worth checking regularly for updates.
