While the original fort that Lancaster Lupton built has long been gone\, a dedicated group of individuals began in 2003 to reconstruct the fort. The reconstructed Fort Lancaster\, as it was known in its original period of operation\, 1836-1844\, was completed and dedicated in 2011.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nA visit to Lancaster Lupton’s trade fort is an experience of going back in time to when an individual with a vision and entrepreneurial spirit took risks to establish a trade enterprise on the wild prairie along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Lancaster Lupton first came to the area with a military expedition in 1835. By 1836 Lupton had resigned his commission and was bringing skilled craftsman and labor from the Mexican village of Taos north to build his trade fort. By 1837-38 he was trading with the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes. Come see his trade fort and walk through the inner plaza to visit the blacksmith and carpenter shops\, living quarters\, kitchen and food preparation rooms\, trade rooms\, cantina and storage room with historic artifacts.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nAbout South Platte Valley Historic Park\nHistoric Fort Lupton (aka Fort Lancaster) and South Platte Valley Settlement Historic Park encompasses 97 acres of land along the South Platte River just northwest of the city of Fort Lupton\, Colorado. The land consists of a large natural and camping area immediately along the river and a high bench of land where the original Fort Lancaster was located.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nAlong the river\, in groves of cottonwood trees are camping areas that can be used by Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops with reservations. These camping areas are also used by the re-enactment department of the SPVHS – the Tallow River Trappers – to hold periodic rendezvous events. Immediately along the river are nature areas that are home to deer\, turkey\, foxes and other animals and birds. At the north end of the historic park is a muzzleloading shooting range leased by the Fort Lupton Muzzleloading Club. \nStart your tour of the historic park at the re-creation of Fort Lancaster\, which was in operation from 1836 to 1844. Move down the path and see the restored trapper cabin from the 1850s\, which was originally located down along the Platte River in Adams County. Moving further down the path\, your will see both the Independence School built in 1875 and the Donelson homestead house built in the 1860s. The Donelson House and the Independence School represent the settlement of the Platte Valley started by the early fur trappers and traders.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nTags: Fort Lupton Heritage Fair\, Colorado History Festival\, History Timeline\nDon’t miss the next Fort Lupton Heritage Fair at the South Platte Valley Historic Park in Fort Lupton\, Colorado.

The standard Mansion tour (included with admission) takes guests to the first and second floors. The premium Mansion tour (available at an additional cost) also includes the third floor. Visit time: Allow 15-25 minutes for the standard Mansion tour\, depending on the number of guests each day; 60 minutes for the premium Mansion tour. The Mansion of George Washington’s Mount Vernon is one of the most iconic 18th-century homes in America. \nGeorge Washington’s beloved Mount Vernon began as a one and one-half story house built in 1735 by his father\, Augustine\, and received its well-known name during the ownership of his half-brother Lawrence. George acquired Mount Vernon in 1754\, and over the next 45 years slowly enlarged the dwelling to create the resplendent 21-room residence we see today. Washington personally supervised each renovation; advising on design\, construction and decoration—even during the Revolutionary War. Conscious that the world was watching\, Washington selected architectural features that expressed his growing status as a Virginia gentleman planter and ultimately as the leader of a fledgling democratic nation. \nThe Chintz Room\nAfter several years of research\, work\, and collaboration with colleagues and craftsmen throughout the country\, the restoration and refurnishing of the Chintz Room\, formerly known as the Nelly Custis Room\, is complete. \nMansion Outbuildings\nLook inside more than a dozen outbuildings where many of the estate’s essential operations—such as laundry\, spinning\, and meat curing—were performed. Demonstrations occur daily at our working blacksmith shop. Visit time: 30 minutes. Mount Vernon’s historic outbuildings house the many important trades that sustained the bustling plantation. \nIn the latter half of the eighteenth century\, Mount Vernon was the home\, farm\, and thriving business of one of America’s most prominent citizens. The essential operations of the plantation were performed in numerous buildings scattered throughout the estate. Washington built these vital workspaces during the 1760s-1790s\, in his ongoing pursuit of economic independence and financial success. \nFisheries and the Potomac River\nEach spring\, when fish began running past Mount Vernon’s ten-mile shoreline\, everyone dropped everything and headed to the river to haul in more than a million fish in a matter of weeks. \n16-Sided Barn\nLearn more about Washington’s innovative barn complex at Dogue Run. \nBlacksmith Shop\nBlacksmithing was an important craft activity throughout most of the Washington family’s ownership of the Mount Vernon plantation. The earliest known reference to a shop dates to 1755. \nSutler Application\nhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/mtv-main-assets/files/resources/revolutionary-war-weekend-2018–sutler-registratio.pdf[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Revolutionary War Weekend at Mount Vernon on the first weekend of May at George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Mount Vernon\, Virginia. \nTags: Revolutionary War Weekend at Mount Vernon\, Revolutionary War Weekend\, Revolutionary War Weekend at George Washingtons Mount Vernon\, Revolutionary War Weekend at Mt Vernon\, Revolutionary War Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment at Mount Vernon \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events

The station takes its name from Joseph Martin\, who led the expedition that identified that tract of land where they erected a stockaded fort\, some crude cabins\, and planted a corn crop. These efforts at settlement proved to be useless\, as an Indian attack occurred in the fall of 1769 and the station was abandoned. Joseph Martin would not be long absent from the station\, and in January 1775 returned to Powell’s Valley with a party of 16 or 18 men who built a more permanent station. As the last fortified station along the Wilderness Road prior to reaching the new lands being opened in Kentucky\, Martin’s Station was a well-known stop for the early settlers. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Raid at Martin’s Station reenactment at the Wilderness Road State Park in Ewing\, Virginia. \nTags: Martin’s Station Reenactment\, Martin’s Station \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events\nView other Market Fair & Trade Fair Events

The annual event has become one that welcomes new units each year\, while relying on a “core” of Corps to participate. \nWhat is a Military “Tattoo”?\nThe Tattoo was originally a piece played by the fifers and drummers of military units to announce the time to return to camp for the evening. Loosely translated from a Dutch phrase\, “Turn the Taps To”\, meaning the taverns were to close for the evening (turn their taps off). \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Drummers Call at Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg\, Virginia. \n \nTags: Drummers Call at Colonial Williamsburg\, Williamsburg Fife and drum corps muster\, revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Drum & Fife Corps Events

On May 16\, 1771 when a group of rebellious backcountry farmers who called themselves “Regulators” met the loyalist militia of Governor William Tryon in open battle. “Fight for the Backcountry” will feature a recreation of the Battle of Alamance\, and will explore life in the backcountry in the early 1770s\, as the American colonies stood on the brink of revolution. \n\nBattle of Alamance Reenactment\nThe weekend program at the Battle of Alamance Reenactment will feature a battle reenactment\, military drills\, artillery and musket drills\, and an audience with Colonial Gov.

Known as Regulators because of a desire to regulate public officials\, the colonists were poorly trained and outgunned. The Regulator uprising was crushed\, but was a preamble to the Revolutionary War only five years later. \nAdmission\nAdults $2\nChildren under 12 FREE \nHours\nSaturday 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.\nSunday 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nReenactment Participants\nParticipants must Register\nParticipants Impression Guidelines \nBattle of Alamance Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n\n \nLocation\nAlamance Battleground State Historic Site\n5803 S NC Highway 62\nBurlington\, NC 27215 \nAlamance Battleground is within the Division of State Historic Sites of the N.C.

It pitted two groups of North Carolinians against each other. There were approximately 2\,000 backcountry farmers called Regulators and around 1\,000 militia troops (citizen soldiers) under the command of Royal Governor William Tryon involved in the two-hour battle. Having officers\, a battle plan\, and more weaponry (which included eight cannon)\, the royal governor and his men easily defeated the ill-prepared Regulators. Governor Tryon reported that nine of his men were killed and sixty-one wounded in the military engagement. Although undetermined\, the Regulator casualties would end up being much greater. It is possible that as many as 100 Regulators may have been killed. The Battle of Alamance officially ended the so-called Regulator movement that began in the 1760’s.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nUnfair taxation\, dishonest and corrupt government officials\, and the lack of representation were all serious concerns of the Regulators. In most cases\, government officials (sheriffs\, clerks of court\, registers of deeds\, etc.) attained their positions through appointments by men in power\, not by elections involving the citizenry of the colony. The Regulators sought a better regulation of these government officials and more control of their own affairs. Geographical\, social\, and economic factors all had effects on the Regulator movement. \nAlthough the Battle of Alamance was not the first official battle of the American Revolution\, it did provide some valuable insight for revolutionaries as discontent with British rule continued to increase. For the approximately 6\,000 Regulators who took the oath of allegiance to the Crown\, many of them remained loyal to England during the War for Independence. Some of the militia serving under Governor Tryon\, who gained valuable military experience at the battle\, would end up fighting against the British. Richard Caswell\, the first man to serve as governor of the state of North Carolina\, was one of those to serve in the militia and later become an integral part of this country’s independence movement.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Alamance Reenactment: Fight for the Backcountry in May at the Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in Burlington\, North Carolina. \nTags: Battle of Alamance Reenactment\, lamance Battle Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events

Celebrate Memorial Day weekend in patriotic fashion with the Princeton Battlefield Society as they present a day of encampment and the Battle of Princeton reenactment with the Second Pennsylvania Regiment. “Washington Returns!” relives Gen.

The Battle of Princeton Reenactment will include pipes and drums\, musket and cannon fire\, marching drills\, tactical formations\, camps and the arrival of Gen. George Washington. \n\nBattle of Princeton Reenactment\nAbut the Battle\nThe battle\, though small\, is considered a turning point in the American Revolution. It was the culmination of the 10-day campaign that began with George Washington’s Hail Mary pass – the crossing of the Delaware. Washington had lost 90 percent of his army\, but he managed to convince his men to stick around a few more weeks and at Princeton they saw the first victory over the British on a battlefield. The modest success provided the momentum that the Continental Army so desperately needed. \nPlaying such a pivotal role in the war\, it may surprise visitors to know that\, in 2012\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the battlefield among its 11 most endangered historic places. \nReenactment Schedule (subject to change)\nSchedule of Selected Events\n11:30 AM – Site Opens/Muster of the Troops\n11:30 AM – Battlefield Tour\n11:45 AM – Artillery Firing Demonstration\n12:00 AM – Understanding the Uniform & Musket\n12:15 PM – Young Patriots Training Muskets & Marching\n12:30 PM – General Washington Arrives\n12:45 PM – Battlefield Tour\n1:00 PM – Infantry and Artillery Demonstrations\n2:00 PM – General Washington Answers Questions\nRain or shine \nCome Early\, Stay Late\nWhile the battle is reenacted in the early afternoon and lasts only about an hour\, a huge part of the fun is in coming early to visit the encampment to see hundreds of reenactors playing their parts\, including cavalry and artillery demonstrations and women making preparations for battle.
