Buffalo Tro
Friday, September 28, 2012
 
It was the most sought-after invitation of 1827.  When Chief Jean Baptiste de Richardville's gracious Greek Revival house was built, the most prominent citizens of Fort Wayne vied to attend his dinner parties.  Once again, the Chief's house will be filled with lights, laughter, and a mouthwatering array of food - and this time you're invited!  In a unique combination of education, entertainment and food, the Buffalo Tro presents an introduction too Great Lakes Region Indian cooking, followed by the cooking of hearty buffalo steaks directly on a large bed of smoldering coals, a traditional method that sears in flavor and juices.  Evening activities include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a Buffalo Tro dinner, cultural interpretation, music, and a silent auction.  All proceeds benefit the Heritage Education Fund, providing free admission to the History Center for area K-12 school children.
