Spring Bake Day
April 6, 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Event Navigation
Twice each year, OHS staff act as historical reenactors and bake bread in Fort Gibson’s original wood-fired oven from 1863. Spring Bake Day is an educational event that allows the public to experience one aspect of army life that occurred during and after the Civil War.
On Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the smell of fresh-baked bread will once again permeate the Fort Gibson Historic Site. Staff will operate the oven all day on April 6, and the fresh loaves will be available from the Commissary around noon and 3:30 p.m. For more information, contact the Fort Gibson Historic Site by calling 918-478-4088.
