Slocum Cabin Days

[CaptainBill03]

Since 1996 Chatfield Staff and volunteers have celebrated Slocum Cabin Days, an interpretive theater open to the public, which focuses on aspects of the early history and life in the Shining Mountains. Fur Trade Era piles of fur, and trade goods, black powder guns, hawk throwing, cooking, story telling, and cannon drill and firing are examples of past presentations. The event has grown each year; with approximately 20 Buckskinners and 200 park visitors present last year. The Rocky Mountain Living History Society is again co-sponsoring the June 17 to June 18 weekend event. The event is free to the public as part of the park pass. We are planning a really great event, with Friday evening story telling in the campgrounds, demonstrations on Saturday, and a Saturday Evening Council Fire mingling primitive and modern campers.
Volunteers willing to educate the public and park staff will receive free admittance to the park. We will be setting up camp near the cabin Friday afternoon, water and hooters will be provided. Only above ground fires will be allowed.
