Historical stories of the Crystal Lake area will be brought to life Sunday afternoon between 1:00 and 4:00 pm at the Colonel Palmer House located on the northeast corner of Route 176 and Pingree Road, Crystal Lake.
Sal "Redhawk" Camacho, a Native American portraying a member of the Potawatomi will present one of his historical interpretations of the tribe that once lived and traveled in this area.
He will take listeners back almost two centuries as he speaks of games, battles, the animals hunted and about interaction with newcomers...French and English. This is an opportunity to learn about the land itself, what the prairie looked like and what plants and animals lived here.
Another part of this history is the Voyageurs--the traders and trappers who traded with the native people and brought trade goods to the Europeans.
This is an opportunity to learn about the land itself and how it appeared almost two centuries ago along with family fun with heritage craft activities available for the children.
More of these historical events will be taking place each month through Christmas, all at the historical Palmer House.
