In the early 1800's, fur trappers would assemble at rendezvous to trade furs for goods. Relive the spirit of the early rendezvous this Memorial Day weekend at the annual Chichaqua Rendezvous. It recreates the years between 1820 and 1840, when the fur trade was at its height in the land which later became Iowa. Crafts will be on display, including scrimshaw, beadwork, cloth, and leather goods. The event is free to the public.
