History comes alive in Ste. Geneviève with the annual Encampment, an 18th-century re-enactment event.

The Encampment is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Center for French Colonial Life.

The living history camp will include children’s games, colonial skills demonstrations and colonial crafts and trades such as gun building, chair seat weaving, spinning, leatherwork, and more.

The event is free and is children- and family-friendly.

The Encampment is sponsored by the Ste. Geneviève Militia, Inc, a member of Seven Years’ War, Inc., with support provided by the Ste. Geneviève County Community Foundation and the Ste. Geneviève Welcome Center.
