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-2017-08-19-2020-08-15/ 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:20200815 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200817 DTSTAMP:20260429T002617 CREATED:20160405T030017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190320T144454Z UID:4117-1597449600-1597622399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Pipestone Civil War Days DESCRIPTION:2020 Pipestone Civil War Days\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the excitement of Pipestone Civil War Days on August 15-16\, 2020 in Pipestone\, Minnesota.

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-2017-08-19-2020-04-18/ 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:20200321 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200323 DTSTAMP:20260429T002617 CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190521T175017Z UID:23036-1584748800-1584921599@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.

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:20260429T002617 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.

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.

Averell\, in his second attempt to disrupt the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad at Salem\, Virginia\, faced again the Confederate troops of Brigadier General John Echols. Throughout the morning\, Echols’ smaller confederate army held the high ground and blocked the highway with artillery\, but in the afternoon was overwhelmed by the crushing advance of federal infantry on his left flank. Following the collapse of his lines\, General Echols retreated south into Virginia with the remnants of his command.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nFederal Troops occupied Lewisburg on November 7\, 1863\, but being burdened with prisoners and captured livestock\, General Averell elected to return to his headquarters in Beverly\, West Virginia\, waiting until early December to lead a third and ultimately successful attack on the vital railroad. Operations in the Shenandoah Valley in the spring of 1864 drew remaining confederate troops out of West Virginia\, thus leaving the new state securely under the control of the federal government for the remainder of the war.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Droop Mountain Reenactment on the second weekend of October at the Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park near Hillsboro\, West Virginia. \nTags: Battle of Droop Mountain Reenactment\, Battle of Droop Mountain Reenactment\, Battle of Droop Mt Reenactment\, Battle of Droop Mt Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-droop-mountain-reenactment/ LOCATION:Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park\, 683 Droop Park Road\, Hillsboro\, WV\, 24946\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Battle-of-Droop-Mountain-Reenactment-02-900x600.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bryans Battery Reenactment Group":MAILTO:tim@amrmail.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191005 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191007 DTSTAMP:20260429T002618 CREATED:20160716T200342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190116T221017Z UID:6317-1570233600-1570406399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Perryville Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Battle of Perryville Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe Battle of Perryville Reenactment on October 5-6\, 2019 at the Perryville Battlefield in Perryville\, Kentucky features Civil War battles\, historical tours\, living history encampments\, ghost walks\, a parade\, street dancing\, open fire cooking\, picnics\, a craft fair and flea market.

Although Confederate forces were victorious on the battlefield at Perryville\, the Rebels eventual evacuation of the state forever lost Kentucky’s resources and men for the Confederacy. The Confederate loss of Kentucky along with Lee’s loss at Antietam set the stage for Abraham Lincoln to change the cause and course of the war. We strive to educate the visiting public on the key role that Perryville played in the Civil War. The battle would settle Kentucky’s allegiance as well as help to define national politics which forever changed our nation. \nRecreating small sections of the original engagement during the Battle of Perryville Reenactment is one form of interpretation used by Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site to fulfill its mission of preserving and interpreting history. \nThe Battle of Perryville Reenactment takes place on the first ‘full’ weekend of October\, including Friday – Sunday. There will be an all day unscripted tactical on Friday\, a sunrise battle and “The Cornfield” on Saturday. The “Fight for the Bottom’s Farm” occurs on Sunday afternoon. (Detailed battle descriptions are included in the information on this page.) \nAdmission\nAdult: $4.00; Adult Group (10 or more) $3.50\nChild ( 7 to 12) $3.00 (6 and under FREE); Child Group (10 or more) $2.50\nMilitary & Senior discount $3.50 \nLocation\nPerryville Battlefield State Historic Site\n1825 Battlefield Road\nPerryville\, KY 40468 \nFor More Information: 859-332-8631 friendsofperryville@gmail.com \nBattle of Perryville Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n\n \nReenactor and Visitor Information\nFor detailed reenactor information (artillery\, cavalry\, infantry)\, civilians and sutlers\, refer to the Official Website and select the navigation buttons labeled for the information you need. \nWho can participate in the Battle of Perryville Reenactment and where do we camp?\nEveryone who has an impression that meets the guidelines may participant either as a military or civilian reenactor.

The military organizations that are responsible to the Kentucky Department of Parks are the Western Federal Blues\, and the Southern Division. They successfully planned and executed the 150th Anniversary Event and we are pleased to have them put forth the time\, trouble and expense to help us raise much needed preservation funding for the battlefield. \nBattle of Perryville Reenactment scenarios?\nIt is very easy to plan the scenarios for Perryville. The generals wrote them 150 plus years ago. The park historian has each army’s movement broken down into 15 minute increments and the scenarios will be scripted to those movements. \nThe Cornfield: Saturday 2:00 PM\nThis scenario simulates the events that took place at approximately 2:00 PM on Wednesday\, October 8th\, 1862. While General Daniel Donelson’s brigade was moving forward into attack position\, Brigadier General William R. Terrill’s Union Brigade was in the process of forming their line on the “Open Knob”. Maney’s Brigade\, assisted by Wharton’s Cavalry\, attacked with vigor\, rolling over Terrill’s regiments as they arrived on the field piecemeal. \nThe Fight for Bottom’s Barn: Sunday 1:00 PM\nThis battle scenario simulates the events that took place at approximately 3:00 PM on Wednesday\, October 8th\, 1862. Since about 10:00 in the morning\, William H. Lytle’s brigade had taken up position on the right flank of Union 1st Corps commanded by General Alexander M. McCook. The 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry\, supported by the 15th Kentucky infantry\, were positioned in Henry P. Bottom’s barn yard overlooking Henry Bottom’s House. Since there appeared little threat to their front\, another regiment\, the 42nd Indiana\, was sent forward to the semi-dry bed of Doctor’s Creek to rest\, boil some coffee\, and fill their empty canteens in the drought-stricken area. Suddenly\, the calm was broken by a fusillade of Confederate artillery shot and shell landing all around. Soon after\, two heavily supported Confederate Infantry brigades came out of the woods and attacked towards the 3rd Ohio and the 15th Kentucky\, driving the hapless 42nd Indiana in a panic from the creek bed. \nThe Confederates had problems too. Bushrod R. Johnson’s Confederate brigade was assigned to attack this area. The Confederates became mixed and disorganized by the cliffs along the creek\, just to the north of the road as well as other terrain features. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Perryville Reenactment on the first full weekend of October at the Perryville Battlefield in Perryville\, Kentucky. \nTags: Battle of Perryville Reenactment\, Battle of Perryville Civil War Reenactment\, Perryville Battlefield Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-perryville-reenactment/ LOCATION:Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site\, 1825 Battlefield Road\, Perryville\, KY\, Perryville\, KY 40468\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Same week in month,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Battle-of-Perryville-Reenactment-20-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Perryville Battlefield":MAILTO:friendsofperryville@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191005 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191007 DTSTAMP:20260429T002618 CREATED:20170921T184956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190419T163223Z UID:18766-1570233600-1570406399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Marysville Civil War Days Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Marysville Civil War Days Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe 3rd Annual Marysville Civil War Days Reenactment will take place on October 5-6\, 2019 at River Front Park in Marysville\, California.

Federal forces advanced from Knoxville and arrived on the outskirts of Blountville. Union forces quickly occupied the heights overlooking the west side of town; this chosen site was the cemetery – the “City of the Dead”. Union cannons were aligned on the gravesites of the locals and their slaves alike. Reacting to the threats\, Southern forces formed artillery on a knoll near the present-day Blountville Middle School; another line was established by Rebel forces on a nearby hillside in front of the Masonic Hall\, now the site of the maintenance building for the Sullivan County School System. The battle of artillery and cavalry began in earnest at lunchtime Union guns offered the initial volley with the Court House as the first target. In only a few minutes\, the Court House was burning.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More About The Battle of Blountville”]Though casualties were light for both armies\, the town was devastated\, with countless homes and businesses burned to the ground by fires started by the explosions of Federal guns. For four hours\, the battle raged when Union forces dislodged the Confederates who began a withdrawal to present-day Bluff City. The Confederates’ withdrawal was a pre-planned surprise counter-attack\, with fresh Confederate troops awaiting the pursuing Federals. The plan was not destined for success when Union forces discovered the Confederate plot and refused battle; the men in blue retreated to Blountville. All of the Federal forces returned toward Knoxville within two days. That fateful little day left a burning town – a burned jail\, a gutted Court House\, businesses and homes destroyed – Only a few historic structures and homes remained. \nLeft behind were the dead and wounded from both sides as well as a town destroyed. Here on this ground\, as well as in Gettysburg\, men fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Eventually\, both armies would withdraw from the immediate area\, but Blountville\, like much of the South\, was left smoldering\, and its citizens weeping; thus\, this once peaceful village would never be the same.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nBattle of Blountville Civil War Military ParkThe Battle of Blountville occurred largely in and around the historic town of Blountville\, Tennessee. Recognizing the importance of commemorating the battle\, Tennessee State Representative Tony Shipley spearheaded the move to establish a Civil War Park commemorating the Battle of Blountville. In February 2011\, Sullivan County passed a resolution authorizing the Sullivan County Department of Archives and Tourism to assist the Battle of Blountville Civil War Park Executive Committee in development of the park in the interest of promoting heritage tourism. The Battle of Blountville Civil War Park and its development will primarily begin in the Historic District of downtown Blountville as recognized on the National Register of Historic Sites. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Blountville Civil War Reenactment in September at the Old Hawley Farm in Blountville\, Tennessee. \n \nTags: Battle of Blountville Civil War Reenactment\, Battle of Blountville Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment\, Tennessee Civil War Reenactment\, Blountville Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-blountville-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Old Hawley Farm\, 1173 Hawley Road\, Blountville\, TN\, 37617\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Battle-of-Blountsville-Reenactment-15-1000x667.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190921 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190923 DTSTAMP:20260429T002618 CREATED:20160904T121852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190412T143653Z UID:7898-1569024000-1569196799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Van Raalte Farm Civil War Muster DESCRIPTION:2019 Van Raalte Farm Civil War Muster\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe 11th Annual Van Raalte Farm Civil War Muster will be held on September 21-22\, 2019 at the historic Van Raalte Farm in Holland\, Michigan.
