With no phones, apps or computers, how did people keep in touch? Old-fashioned letters! Try your hand at writing 1750-style with feathered quills and walnut ink. Discover ink recipes and how to fletch a quill to take home while supplies last. Dont forget to close your letter with a wax seal and perhaps some other techniques to keep your message away from prying eyes! Learn all about historic correspondence and writing. During Living History Encounters, you may find cooks, seamstresses, voyageurs, soldiers or craftsmen sharing their talents in the Traders Cabin.
