We will meet and get instructions at 7:30 a.m. at the Fulton County Museum, Rochester, Indiana, on Monday, Sep 17, the day after the Trail of Courage Living History Festival. We will then drive to Chief Menominee monument for a beginning ceremony at 9 a.m. with George Schricker singing his Menominee song. There we will begin the drive of 660 miles from Indiana to Kansas on the original 1838 route taken by the Potawatomi on the forced removal, Trail of Death. We will stop at historical markers, give programs at schools and museums, stay in motels and eat together. Individuals pay own motels and meals. Some are planning to camp out.
