Interpretive Rangers Jeremy McCormic and Felicia Gates from Natchitoches’ Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site gave the program for the September meeting of FUMC’s Young at Heart Group. They gave an entertaining and informative talk on colonial life in Natchitoches in the 1700’s. Ms. Gates also spoke about what a typical woman’s life was like in colonial Natchitoches.

The Interpretive Rangers at the site are well versed in not just the area’s history, but the day to day aspects of life in Colonial days. The Rangers are available to speak to schools and other groups of all ages at no charge. Interested persons may call Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site at 357-3101 to set up a presentation.

And while a bit outside of the site’s era, this Saturday will feature the fort’s first Renaissance Festival, sure to be quality family fun for all ages.
