Story

We went to Bluff Fort expecting to spend an hour or two, but there was a lot more to do than we were expecting. We ended up spending a little over 4 hours. We watched the intro movie, dressed up in pioneer clothing, played with Lincoln Logs, panned for gold, took an audio tour around the cabins, ate lunch, played with hand carts, and had a great time.
