Looking for something fun (and historical) to do this weekend?

Fort Crailo is having Native American Heritage Days this Saturday and Sunday



From their Facebook Page:

As part of the state-wide New York Heritage Weekend, Crailo will begin its 2011 season with weekend festivities commemorating Native American history of the Hudson River Valley. Activities include seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Native American demonstrations, vendors, crafts for kids of all ages, and a museum open house. Come and experience the culture, history, and heritage of America’s first peoples, while learning about the Dutch in the new museum exhibit.
