“Make Your Own Red River Oxcart” is set for Saturday, Feb. 28, at the Pembina State Museum from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Make a model oxcart with popsicle sticks to take home, and learn about the Métis, oxcarts, and the Red River Valley fur trade. The event is for those ages 6 and older. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All materials will be provided.

The Métis used oxcarts in the Red River Valley for most of the 1800s to transport furs, bison hides, and meat to trading posts. On the return home, they loaded the oxcarts with merchandise and household goods.

The Pembina State Museum, located at 805 Highway 59, Pembina, is managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Admission to the museum and observation tower is $10. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Outreach Coordinator Brian Hardy, shspembina@nd.gov or 701.825.6840.
