Event
Sunset Story Hour on the Beach with Perry Ground Stories from the People of the Longhouse
Friday, July 4, 2025 07:30 PM - 08:30 PM
Bring a chair or a blanket and gather on the beach at Thompson's Lake Campground to enjoy s'mores and storytelling sponsored by the Friends of Thacher. Perry Ground tells traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs, and history of the Haudenosaunee people and continue to be an important part of Haudenosaunee culture. The Storyteller will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice, and a VERY active stage presence. These stories become ‘interactive' as Perry includes volunteer audience members in the stories. This program is also filled with historical information, discussion about the art of storytelling, other elements of Haudenosaunee culture and LOTS of humor. Audiences, young and old, will find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational. No registration required.
