Thousands of people came to Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson to get a close-up view of how people lived before Alabama became a state.
The 24th annual Alabama Frontier Days, held Nov. 6-9, gave visitors the chance to interact with impersonators, watch demonstrations and participate in activities that were reflective of life between 1700 and 1820.
