Visitors can explore authentic mountain‑man encampments, watch historic craft and skill
demonstrations, browse period traders, and enjoy frontier‑style food as reenactors bring the
1800–1840 fur‑trade era to life. Co-hosted by the Nevada County Depot and Museum, the
event offers a rare chance to step directly into the world of trappers, traders, and early settlers.

Rendezvous gatherings were once essential trade meetings where fur companies and
independent trappers exchanged beaver and otter pelts—and just as importantly, shared
stories, games, and long‑awaited camaraderie. Today’s Southwestern Regional Rendezvous
continues that tradition, rotating annually among its member states to honor this vibrant chapter
of American history.

Prairie D’Ane Battlefield is located at 2243 Highway 19 North in historic Prescott, Arkansas.
Admission is $5 for adults; children 12 and under attend free. Parking is free, and food vendors
and period merchandise will be available on site.For more information, call 870-887-5821, email

Experience the final day of the Rendezvous—history, hospitality, and hands‑on discovery all in
one place!
