Last week marked the end of an era at the Historic Forks of the Wabash as Chuck Hileman gave his final musket demonstration.
For countless students, Chuck was one of the highlights of their visit. His knowledge and ability to bring history to life made a lasting impression on thousands of children over the years. The excitement on their faces when they watched his demonstrations is something we will never forget.
While we are sad to see him step away from this role, we are incredibly grateful for the time, dedication, and passion he shared with our visitors. Chuck helped make history memorable, engaging, and fun for so many students.
Thank you, Chuck, for all you have done for the Forks and the many school children whose lives you touched. You will be greatly missed.
