Explore early frontier life at Meadowcroft!

Step back in time and learn more about the everyday lives of 18th-century Western Pa. families during Frontier Heritage Weekend.

Discover the essential skills that defined life on the frontier – from blacksmithing and open-hearth cooking to candle dipping and fire starting – and explore how American Indians and European settlers shared knowledge, traditions, and tools to survive and thrive.

Frontier Heritage Weekend brings history to life through hands-on activities, expert demonstrations, and a deeper look at the region’s cultural roots.
