Founders Day at Fort Zumwalt Park
April 23, 2008
O’Fallon
On Sat. May 3, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., O’Fallon will host a new event called Founders Day at Fort Zumwalt Park. This will celebrate O’Fallon’s exceptional heritage as a War of 1812 site.
There will be a War of 1812 living history camp. Artifacts unearthed during archaeological surveys in the park will be on display; and the first foundation stones for the rebuilding of Zumwalt’s Fort will be placed during the festivities.
There will also be 1800-period games and activities as well as old-fashioned items and foods on sale.
Visitors will be able to park at Civic Park and ride a free shuttle to the event.
