Located in the valley of the Little Tennessee River\, near the Appalachian Mountains\, Fort Loudoun State Historic Area provides a glimpse of life during the time of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The future of the North American continent was in the balance as armies from France\, Spain and England fought for control of this land and it’s vast resources. Native Americans were caught up in this struggle as they strove to protect their homes and way of life. Fort Loudoun (1756-1760)\, in the heart of the Overhill Cherokee country\, played a part in that conflict which eventually laid the foundation for our nation we live in today.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nThe fort was reconstructed during the Great Depression and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The Fort Loudoun State Historic Park features a visitor center/museum\, reconstructed Fort Loudoun\, and stabilized ruins of Tellico Blockhouse (1794-1807). Fort Loudoun was constructed by the British Colony of South Carolina to ally the Overhill Cherokee Nation in the fight against the French and to guarantee that trade would continue between the Cherokee and South Carolina. \nBut relations between South Carolina and the Cherokee Nation broke down and the Cherokee captured Fort Loudoun and its garrison. It is thought that the Cherokees destroyed the fort shortly thereafter. The blockhouse served as a gateway (with passes required) into Cherokee land\, a trading post\, and a factory to teach new skills to the Cherokees. \nPicnic tables\, fishing pier\, hiking trails and boat dock are available. Boat launching ramps are available off site. The Historic Area hosts many seasonal events\, such as Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekends with reenactors\, an 18th Century Trade Faire\, and student field trips.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n\nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Loudoun Colonial Trades Garrison in March at historic Fort Loudon State Park in Vonore\, Tennessee. \nTags: Fort Loudoun Colonial Trades Garrison\, Colonial Trades Garrison\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-loudoun-colonial-trades-garrison/ LOCATION:Fort Loudoun State Park\, 338 Fort Loudoun Road\, Vonore\, TN\, 37885\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fort-Loudoun-Colonial-Trades-Garrison-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Loudoun Association":MAILTO:fortloudoun@tds.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190329T073000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190329T213000 DTSTAMP:20260404T060352 CREATED:20190317T170834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190317T171841Z UID:37234-1553844600-1553895000@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Patriots Path: Steps to Revolution DESCRIPTION:2019 Patriots’ Path: Steps to Revolution\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nLittleton Historical Society presents Patriots’ Path: Steps to Revolution on March 29\, 2019 at the First Church Unitarian in Littleton\, Massachusetts. Patriots’ Path: Steps to Revolution is an original short play that uses historical records to portray Littleton’s citizens in the shift from loyal British subjects to American revolutionaries. The Littleton Historical Society brings local history to life with a cast of local residents portraying actual men and women of Littleton who lived 250 years ago through the tumultuous events leading up to the Revolution. \nSome were Tories loyal to the crown; others were Patriots who protested British attempts to revoke their rights as colonists. One woman who was enslaved yearned for the freedoms others took for granted. As the story unfolds\, characters reveal their feelings and tell about the impact these events had on their lives and those of their families. \nFriday\, March 29th\, 7:30 pm \nFree Admission \nLocation\nFirst Church Unitarian\n19 Foster Street\nLittleton\, MA 01460 \nSponsor\nLittleton Historical Society\nCall (978) 486-8202\nEmail littleton.histsociety@verizon.net\nWebsite \nDuring the decade between 1764 and 1775\, colonists who were once loyal subjects of the British Empire and had fought with British troops in the French and Indian War made life-changing decisions to became Patriots who\, little more than 10 years later\, fought in the Revolution against the British. There will be time after the performance to ask questions and share ideas. The discussion will be moderated by Susan Harvey\, member of the High School faculty\, and Roland Gibson\, retired educator. \nThe Society thanks the Littleton Cultural Council for its support. We would also like to thank the First Church Unitarian for providing the venue; LCTV and its director\, Mark Crory; members of the Color Guard of the Boxborough Minutemen\, and members of the 1st Regiment of the Foot Guards; and cast and crew of Littleton residents who generously gave their time and effort to the production. \nThe performance is in conjunction with the Paths of Patriots Project of Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. The program is supported in part by a grant from the Littleton Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nThe Program is free and open to the public. The Church is handicapped accessible. Parking is available at the lot in back of the Fire Department across the street; and is also available at 300 King Street\, just a short walk from the Church. Information is also available on www.littletonhistoricalsociety.org and the Littleton Historical Society’s facebook page. \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Littleton Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the Littleton Historical Society presentation of the Patriots’ Path: Steps to Revolution play at the First Church Unitarian in Littleton\, Massachusetts. \nTags: Patriots Path Steps to Revolution\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/patriots-path-steps-to-revolution/ LOCATION:First Church Unitarian\, 19 Foster Street\, Littleton\, MA\, 01460\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Patriots-Path-Steps-to-Revolution-02-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Littleton Historical Society":MAILTO:littleton.histsociety@verizon.net END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
