FORT VERDE ARIZONA STATE PARK LIVING HISTORY PROGRAM 2022
Fort Verde State Historic Park

June at the Fort

This month the Fort Verde Interpretive Association will be entering its summer programming on the Saturday, June 18th. We have decided to modify the character of this programming to more closely fit what we have been doing rather than to try to create specialty programs. Thus, "A Day at the Fort" living history interpretation of everyday life at Fort Verde.

This will allow each interpreter attending to bring their favorite impression without wondering if it fits the monthly theme. It also caters to the visitor in that they will get a more general interpretation of Army life rather than a limited perspective.

We will begin round two of garden planting at this time. This will include reseeding of some of the earlier crops as well as plant more carrots. The ones we planted earlier are doing pretty good, but a second crop will provide fresh fodder for the September cooking program. If you are planning to come out and do some interpretation, your presence would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.

Please let Park Manager Sheila know in advance for planning purposes, sstubler@azstateparks.gov.

Volunteers need to arrive by 9:00 am in order to be ready for the Fort's opening at 10:00 am.

New Inventory at Stewart's Military Antiques
The Yanks Are Coming!!!
Greetings All
Terri and I recently purchased a nice old collection of WWI US Army uniforms, including an Identified grouping to a USMC 5th Regiment Marine who served in combat in France in 1918. We will begin listing these this Friday the 4th of September, with 20 uniforms and the remainder scattered through our daily updates next week.
Lafayette, We Are Here!!!
