History comes to life at the annual Mountain Man Rendezvous in Bridgeton, a western Indiana town known for its covered bridge. The educational event gives visitors a taste of pre-1840s living in a beautiful setting at the Mountain Man encampment. Festival-goers can visit historic trading posts and buy pioneer goods. Be a spectator at a demonstration of live black powder muzzle loader shooting, a primitive bow shoot, a canoe race on Raccoon Creek and more. Even kids can feel like a pioneer for a day with a colonial tea party and crafts.
The festival takes place the last full weekend in April. For more details, call (765) 548-2136.
