Fortune & Fun: Card Games of the Fur Trade

Join us at The Fort on Friday, September 5 for "Fortune & Fun: Card Games of the Fur Trade." Learn card games once played during the Western Fur Trade era. These games offered not only entertainment but also opportunities for cultural exchange and trade. Bring pennies from home to use as markers.

Bill Gwaltney has studied and shared the history of the American West’s Fur Trade for over 50 years. His passion began in Boy Scouts and led to creating the enduring Mountain Man Outpost at Goshen Scout Reservation. A longtime National Park Service interpreter, he held roles from Ranger to Assistant Regional Director at sites like Bent’s Old Fort and Fort Laramie. Throughout his career, he connected with leading Fur Trade historians to deepen and share his knowledge.

Tickets are $10/person. For more information contact the Heritage Program at 303-839-1671.
