SUMMARY:Shadows at the Crossing: Spirits of Old Traverse des Sioux
DESCRIPTION:Lantern light\, prairie air\, and voices from the past. Experience Traverse des Sioux after dark on this immersive guided tour. At six stops along the trail\, you’ll meet costumed interpreters portraying real people connected to this place. They’ll share their stories in first person\, giving you a glimpse into the choices\, challenges\, and resilience that shaped Minnesota Territory. \nAs daylight fades\, the atmosphere shifts.
