Women of the Fur Trade

March is Women’s History Month!

Let’s celebrate all the boss women from the 17th to 19th century fur trade — the smugglers and traders, the translators and economic powerhouses, the guides and providers who were so much more than the nagging wife portrayed by later historians.

Fee: Free! Age: Ages 16 or older. Registration required by Tuesday, March 11, by calling 815-722-9301 or online.

Isle a la Cache Museum is an accessible facility. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
