Travel Back in Time with a Historical Encampment at Stony Creek

Stony Creek Metropark is hosting a two-day "War in the Wilderness," a large encampment of historical re-enactors representing British and French military, and Woodland Indians of the 1750s and 1760s.

Visitors will be transported back in time to the 18th century as they explore military camps, a Woodland Indian Village and shop at historical vendors selling things pertinent to the time.

Camp hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

Battles are scheduled for 3 p.m. both days so everyone will see how settlers and natives fought at the time. Other activities and events will be happening throughout each day.

If you have more questions, contact Stony Creek Metropark at 800-477-7756 or 586-781-4242.

This event is free with park admission, which is $5 for a daily pass, if you don't have an annual permit ($25 for most, or $15 for seniors).
