Step back in time to 1855 at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum’s annual Brigade Encampment. This event recreates the bustle and excitement of the historic visit of fur traders. Guests will witness the arrival of the brigade (the convoy that delivered a year’s worth of furs) and spirited contests between trappers and traders. Visitors can participate in “Engagé for the Day,” visiting with living historians at their tents and receiving hands-on lessons on period skills, food sampling, live music, and more.
