Arlington: Calendar of Events

What is a Mountain Man? "A 'Mountain Man' is the present day term for an 1800's 'Buckskinner,'" says Allan Hughes of Traders Village. "Our Mountain Man Gathering gives youth and adults alike, the opportunity to experience and enjoy a valuable part of Americana, how our ancestors survived in the American frontier".

 If you have camped out, been a member of the Boy or Girl Scouts, or have any interest in American history, you will be intrigued by the pre-1840s costumes that will be showcased at Traders Village.

This special weekend will begin each day at 10:00 AM. Through song, storytelling and historical reenactment of an era unfamiliar to us all, Mountain Man Gathering will provide a window to the past with authenticity as the key. Mountain Man demonstrations will include: beading, tomahawk and knife throwing, firestarting, blacksmithing, soapmaking and Native American Roach Making. Traders and sellers will include Wooden Hawk Trading Co., Watchful Eagle Trading Post, J. T.'s Flaming Rose Trading Co., Just Jeannie's, Creative Blacksmithing, Tree's Stumps & Logs, and Polar Bear's Forge.

See what it takes to become an Astronaut and the effect space has on the human body.

The Fielder House was built in 1914 by prominent banker James Park Fielder and wife, Mattie. Fielder was an Arlington commissioner and served on the original board of the present UTA.

This two-story brick prairie-style home was built on a 215-acre site surrounded by live oaks, orchards and gardens. This two-story house was one of the first brick homes in Arlington. Once known as “Home on the Hill,” since April 20, 1980 it has been the home of the Fielder Museum, the Arlington Historical Society and the Arlington Preservation Foundation, with permanent exhibits, such as general store, barber shop and a replica steam train. Arlington's history through the decades is told with photographs and artifacts.
