The Marienville Ranger District will be hosting living history programs on Saturday, June 13, 2009, at the Ranger Station on State Route 66, two miles north of Marienville. Programs will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue until 4:00 p.m. with time between programs for questions from attendees. Programs will be held outdoors.
