Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp
Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp, Native American historic site in Conway, United States.
The Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp encompasses 3.8 acres of mixed hardwood forest with small shingled cabins arranged around a clearing.
Chief Joseph Laurent from Odanak established this seasonal camp in 1884, transforming a railroad service shed into a craft showcase venue around 1900.
The location served as a center for Abenaki artisans who created and sold traditional baskets and handicrafts to visitors of the White Mountains.
The site, managed by Conway as a public park since 1985, contains interpretive signs explaining the historical and cultural elements of the location.
Multiple wooden structures remain on the property, including the original shop building and residential cottages built by Chief Laurent for seasonal craft production.
