Naeskahoni Town

Authentic Woodland Indian Village


 

Stroll through a French and Indian War era Woodland Indian village and discover five different cultures in ten different structures.  Transport your your students back in time to frontier Pennsylvania and take then on a field trip that will really bring history to life. Introduce them to  demonstrations of primitive hunting and fishing techniques, bowmaking, toolmaking, cooking, pottery, gardening, herbs, natural dyes, and tanning.
