Enjoy an evening of old fashioned fun from 6-9 p.m. on July 23 at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum’s annual Family Fun Night.

Bring a picnic supper and the whole family and participate in games, music and dancing of the mid-1800s. Kids of all ages will enjoy the special firings of the Candy Cannon throughout the evening. Lemonade and ice cream will be available while supplies last.

Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a restoration of the Hudson’s Bay Company outpost on Puget Sound. It provides a rare setting for all generations to explore the early history of our state and learn about the life experiences of those who settled here.

Visitors are encouraged to meet the re-enactors and explore the buildings, which will be open and staffed. Two new structures, the Education Building and the Visitor Center, were opened to the public in June 2009 and have brought a new level of historic accuracy to the fort.

Admission is $6 adults; $5 seniors, military, students; $4 ages 13-17 and $3 ages 4-12.

For additional information, please contact Fort Nisqually at (253) 591-5339, fortnisqually@tacomaparks.com or visit the website at www.fortnisqually.org.
