From tour groups to elderhostels and Apple Harvest Days to Lumberjack Festivals, our living historians have helped make many trips and festivals a unique and memorable event.

Whether you are a travel agent or tour guide looking for something different for your special clients, or a civic leader intent on improving your local event, we have some solutions for you. Please see our long list of activities by clicking on the appropriate links -- knowing that these activities could fill hours for your happy guests, and customized programs are our specialty.

Tour operators and travel agents should also click on the "Resorts & Outfitters" link for more info and references regarding handling groups of tourists. We specialize in making tours and trips exciting and interesting for clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Civic leaders who are planning an event and need a "hook" can contact us for more info and a brainstorming session on how we can help you pull off the most exciting event ever! We have a long list of historians with whom we work, so we can handle small programs with one historical display, on up to an entire village created for the Mountain Man, Fur Trade, Lewis & Clark and/or Native American eras.
