Description
The town of Fort Gibson will mark the anniversary with a community parade that starts at 9 a.m. and ends at the historic site. After the parade, staff at the Fort Gibson Historic Site will begin their bicentennial programming and mark the occasion with speeches from state legislators and other dignitaries. Cake and refreshments will be served to visitors in the mess hall.
Education stations will be located across the 80-acre historic site, with living historians giving demonstrations about how soldiers and civilians would have lived in the 1800s. Visitors can sign up for a Neosho River walking tour to view a replica 19th-century keelboat docked at the riverside, where supplies would have been delivered.
