  RIVERTON:  1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous Continues…

  Riverton, WY – The annual re-enactment of the 1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous will be held this year from July 3rd to the 7th.  This year marks the 175th anniversary of the original rendezvous.  This rendezvous is the only re-enactment located on the actual historic site. One is walking in the footsteps of such great trappers and traders such as Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Joe Meek, Andrew Drips, William Drummond Stewart, Moses “Black” Harris, and others.

  This year’s fun starts on the Wed. the 3rd at 3 pm with a parade down Main Street in Riverton, followed by opening ceremonies at 5 p.m. with a free dinner and Native American dancing to follow. Thursday, Friday and Saturday will see the normal black powder shooting, hawk ‘n knife competitions and numerous seminars centered around the fur trapping era.  This year there will be more traders than usual as the national rendezvous will be the next week in Laramie. This gives visitors a chance to “shop til they drop”.

  The organizers pride themselves on having a “beginners” or “teaching” rendezvous with the seminars offered. Saturday will be set aside as a family day with a great number of activities for kids and “non” participants in the rendezvous.  There will be seminars on fire starting with flint and steel, dutch oven cooking, flint knapping, Teepee set-up and organization, various trapping methods, historical information about the era, and many others.

  To find the rendezvous, travel east on Monroe off of Federal Blvd to Smith Rd. turn south and follow the signs. www.1838rendezvous.com
