Event Navigation
The Fort Gibson Historic Site will host its annual Education Day on Friday, May 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
One day a year, the Fort Gibson Historic Site is closed to all but Oklahoma’s young scholars for a fun-filled day of education! Fort Gibson Historic Site staff, living historians, and volunteers will demonstrate skills, crafts, and trades that enabled people to thrive in 19th-century Indian Territory. Registered schools can expect to see demonstrations of daily life in the 1800s, including fiber arts, cooking, military drills, and trade! Several stations will be set up across the grounds of the 200-year-old military post for students to experience interactive education.
Schools must register in advance to reserve their space in the 2-hour time blocks. Teachers, bus drivers, and one chaperone for each 10 students are given free entry. Cost is $4.00 per student.
Registration begins on January 14 and runs through April 19.
