Fort Massac Encampment This Weekend
Area residents looking for something to do this weekend, might want to consider a trip to Metropolis, as the 45th annual Fort Massac Encampment is scheduled for this weekend.
Visitors can see what life was like in the late 1700s and early 1800s at Ft. Massac, just off Interstate 24 in Metropolis. This year’s encampment like ones in the past will feature re-enacters who will take visitors back in time to the French-Indian Wars and the time of George Rogers Clark. Visitors will learn the historical significance of the site, and basically take a trip back in time.
. There will be free parking around the site, as well as some paid parking areas, with many of those supporting local charities.
