SPECIAL EVENT: "The Early History of Ganondagan" (5/12-5/13)
Published on May 08, 2007
In 1669 M. Dollier and M.de la Salle set out from Montreal; Dollier to preach to the Native American and la Salle to follow the Ohio River to what he thought would be the South Sea passage to China. They stopped at a native settlement, Ganondagan, where they offered goods in trade for the gift of a guide to assist them on their route. Reenactments of this meeting will be performed this weekend as part of "The Early History of Ganondagan" at the Ganondagan State Historic Site.
Watch as some of the actual descendents from Gonondagan demonstrate skills and customs of the Seneca tribe. Then you and your child can test your aim with archery or show off your skill with a tomahawk throw. Interactive lectures will be offered throughout the day by authentically costumed presenters.
The Ganondagan State Historic Site is located at 1488 State Route 444 in Victor. The early history program runs Saturday and Sunday, May 12 and 13, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and admission is $3-$5. Call 924-5848 or visit www.ganondagan.org.
