Join us at the Dubois Museum to meet the Shippen Brothers as they share their memories, stories and history of their great-grandparents and family with Cheryl O’Brien, local historian. The Shippen family were early Dubois homesteaders who built several town businesses, including the Rustic Pine Tavern.
In 1811, William Price Hunt wrote that the Wind River was named because “in the winter, the wind blows so constantly that it prevents the snow from lying on the ground.” Come learn about the history of kites dating back thousands of years and then design and fly your own kite on the winds of the Wind River. This program will combine children’s creativity with the historic recreation of kite flying.
