Fall Frolic

Every fall, students and faculty participate in 1st person interpretation at Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site’s Fall Frolic festival. History comes alive as participants dress in 1845 attire and learn pioneer skills such as creating brooms, making rope, preparing food, and crafting woodcarvings.
