Come celebrate the early days of the Midwest frontier with writer, historian and pioneer Juliette Magill Kinzie as portrayed by Betsey Means. In 1830 Juliette married the famous fur trader and U.S. Indian Sub-Agent John H. Kinzie, who invited his new wife to share with him the great adventure of life in the wilderness of the Great Lakes (in what is now Wisconsin and northern Illinois).

“So then I was to see it, it was to become my home…Indian country!”
