Members are invited to a movie night for the February 24th Members Only Event where we will premiere two newly produced films for the River Raisin National Battlefield Park before they are released for public viewing. The movies will be shown in the Theater at the River Raisin National Battlefield Park Visitor Center. Enjoy a movie premiere with FREE refreshments, a Phenakistoscope activity new fishing and trapping exhibits, and vignettes with props for photo opportunities all located in the Education Center. The River Raisin Trade Depot gift shop will be open and there will be door prize giveaways!

A Phenakistoscope was invented in 1832 as a toy with images and slits in it. When aimed at a mirror and spun, it was the first example of fluid motion where you view a series of images progressing.  Although a toy, it was one of the fore runners of motion pictures.  Members will be able to create a phenaskistocsope to take home.

Bring a guest(s) who can become a member! Guests will get experience the Visitor Center and you help us by soliciting new members. Members can also renew membership during the event.
