After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-08-19-2021-06-19/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-03-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210515 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210517 DTSTAMP:20260428T231915 CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240828T231041Z UID:40038-1621036800-1621209599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, Florida.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal.

You will see the soldiers of both sides as they prepare to fire cannons\, and watch the battle as smoke fills the air from the muskets and cannons. Visitors should bring lawn chairs or blankets for extra seating. \nBattle of Round Mountain Reenactment Mini Gallery\n\n \nSaturday: 7 pm – Civil War Grand Ball\nRecall the romance of the Civil War at a Reenactment Ball in the Yale old high school gym Saturday night. Everyone is encouraged to dress in period attire\, but everyone is welcome regardless of dress with plenty of seating for those who just want to watch. Dancers will swirl around the dance floor as band plays music appropriate to the period. \nCivil War Era Military and Civilian Sutlers\nVendors in period dress will set up tents and sell their wares on church grounds to both participants and visitors from 10 am to 3 pm Friday and 9 am to 4 pm Saturday and Sunday. Reenactors will find clothing and gear to enhance their “persona”; visitors can purchase items as reminders of the sights and sounds of the Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment. Food vendors offer food from the era for those whose appetites reject hard tack and salt mule. There will be several modern food vendors\, too. \nQuilt Show\nIn addition to the Winter Encampment\, the Jim Thorpe Memorial Foundation will also hold a month-long quilt show throughout February. Those who wish to participate may bring a quilt to the nearby Jim Thorpe Home for display. The public will vote and prizes will be awarded. \nAbout The Battle of Round Mountain\nThe Battle of Round Mountain is listed as the first battle fought in Indian Territory during the Civil War. This historic battle fought in Payne County saw approximately 1\,400 Confederate soldiers under the command of Colonel Douglas H. Cooper pursue roughly 9\,000 Unionist civilians led by Opothleyahola\, a famous Upper Creek leader. These civilians were attempting to avoid an alliance with the Confederacy and ultimately chose to flee to the protection of Union forces in Kansas. Colonel Cooper set out on November 19\, 1861 in an attempt to coerce Opothleyahola into submission. Each February\, the town of Yale comes alive with the Battle of Round Mountain Re-enactment. \nFor More Information\nSuttlers: 918-519-7071 or 405-455-2248; School Days: 918-855-2438\nEmail: southwind7307344@yahoo.com \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment in February in Yale\, Oklahoma. \nTags: Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment\, Battle of Round Mountain Civil War Reenactment\, Oklahoma Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-round-mountain-reenactment/ LOCATION:Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment Site\, Hwy 51 & Hwy 18\, Yale\, OK\, 74085\, United States CATEGORIES:American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Battle-of-Round-Mountain-Reenactment-54-1000x667.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200131 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200203 DTSTAMP:20260428T231915 CREATED:20180106T182637Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190319T144837Z UID:20988-1580428800-1580687999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Townsend's Plantation Civil War Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2020 Battle of Townsend’s Plantation Civil War Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the thunder of cannon at the annual Battle of Townsend’s Plantation Civil War Reenactment and Festival on January 31 – February 2\, 2020 on 100 acres behind Renninger’s Antique Market in Mt.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-08-19-2020-01-18/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-03-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191223 DTSTAMP:20260428T231915 CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190521T175014Z UID:20427-1576886400-1577059199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, Florida.
