SUMMARY:"Winter Traditions and Cheer" living history program
DESCRIPTION:The Fort Gibson Historic Site will celebrate on December 19–21 with its “Winter Traditions and Cheer” living history programs. The programs will take place from 10 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 4 p.m. each day. \nWinter on the edge of Indian Territory was spent in regular military duties such as guarding\, working in the mess hall\, and drilling. Soldiers separated from loved ones\, stationed at Fort Gibson tended to livestock\, continued training\, and found small ways to celebrate the season\, bringing cheer among their ranks. Winter on the frontier military post required that oxen\, horses\, and mules were fed\, wintered\, and cared for through the coldest months.  \nDuring these living history programs\, visitors can learn about the way enlisted men kept small and meaningful seasonal traditions alive\, whether through hunting for the game for the holiday meal\, sharing mail from home\, or adding decorative cheer to their quarters. For more information\, check out the Fort Gibson Facebook event page. \n  \n
