Dickson Mounds Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive Activities

Join us for a variety of activities during the Spoon River Scenic Drive. *Learn what life was like on the Illinois frontier at the Rendezvous Encampment hosted by the Mackinaw Valley Longriffles. *View flint knapping demonstrations and learn about the different techniques these craftsmen use to create various stone tools. *Enjoy live music by the Bug Trotters, a group of friends who get together to play Old-Time Square Dance music. They will provide lively tunes played on fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and harmonica. Admission to the Museum as well as all weekend event activities is free. Donations are appreciated. Participants should dress appropriately for the weather as much of these activities will be held outdoors.
