The theme of this year show is Fort Ouiatenon, the first European settlement in what is now the state of Indiana. Situated across the Wabash River from a large Native village, Ouiatenon played an important role in the conflicts between the French, British, Americans, and Native tribes.
Historians: Larry Chowning, Rick Conwell, and Mary Moyars-Johnson will present the following programs Saturday and Sunday, March 17-18, 2007, to focus on Fort Ouiatenon’s vital importance as a center of trade and maneuvering point for empire.
· 10:30 “Ouiatanon- Pieces of the Puzzle” Mary Moyars-Johnson
· 12:30 "Interpretations of an Archaeological Field Season at Ouiatenon” Larry Chowning
· 2:30 "Life’s Left Behinds-The Archaeological Evidence of the Material Culture of Ouiatenon” Rick Conwell
