2023 Summer Youth Programs

Fort Western's 2024 Junior Interpreter Program
will be offered during the months of June and July!

Fort Western Living History Museum & National Historic Landmark invites children aged ten and up interested in local history and museum stewardship to register for one of Fort Western's Junior Interpreter Programs offered on the following weeks: Week 1-June 24-June 28; Week 2-July 8-July 12, Week 3-July 15-July 19; Week 4-July 22-July 26; Week 5– July 29-August 2. 

Junior Interpreters will explore daily life at home in the 18th century, the varied world of work such as blacksmithing and storekeeping, the life of a French & Indian War Soldier, and what children and adults did for entertainment. They will also learn about collections management and how to interpret the history of the Fort, develop the necessary skills to demonstrate 18th-century hands-on activities to the public, and learn how to conduct research through reading and deciphering original documents.
