SUMMARY:"Awaiting the Return Home: The Logistics of Refugees at Fort Gibson"
DESCRIPTION:On select Saturdays\, March 14\, 20\, and 28\, from 10 a.m. to noon\, and again from 1 to 4 p.m.\, the Fort Gibson Historic Site will hold a special living history education program focused on the life of refugees who relocated to the military outpost in the 1860s. \nWhile the Union army made headway in 1862 and 1863 by capturing Fort Gibson and winning a major battle at Honey Springs\, many women\, children\, and other dependents of Cherokee\, Creek\, and Seminole soldiers serving in the Union Indian Brigade had to continue living as refugees in the remaining buildings of the palisade square. Other unexpected people also turned up as refugees at Fort Gibson. \nSeth Goff will present a living history program discussing the difficult decisions refugees faced during the Civil War\, what they did during their time at Fort Gibson\, and the food and other supplies they received from the Union army. \nThe talk is included with admission. Interested guests should check in at the Palisade admissions office located across the parade square from the entrance gate. Dress accordingly for March weather in Oklahoma. \n \n
