More than two centuries later, the fight at Fort Laurens is over, but the story of the soldiers’ doomed mission there won’t stay in the ground. Throughout the winter, the men at Fort Laurens were slowly frozen, starved and scared into submission. Fort Laurens does not stand alone, either. Upcoming events at Fort Laurens include an edible plant class put on by the Midwest Native Skills Institute and an archaeology school day that lets students try their hand at sifting and trowel work.
