It marks the place where a small force of Americans were in the right place at the right time to have an outsized negative effect on British General John Burgoyne’s campaign to split the northern colonies. This battle contributed to his subsequent loss at Saratoga\, which was the event that helped Franklin convince France to join American in its battle against Britain. \nFrom the beginning of the American Revolution\, the British had understood the importance of gaining control of the Lake Champlain-Lake George-Hudson River water route to effectively cut off the colonies north of New York from those to the south. Almost all of the troubles leading to the war had originated from New England\, and the British thought that if they could put down the rebellion there\, the rest of the colonies would give up. British dominance of New York would also make it difficult or impossible for the Americans to move troops and supplies between the northern and southern colonies. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More about the importance of the Battle of Bennington”]The British make their first attempt to seize this waterway in 1776. The British army\, under Gen. Sir William Howe\, was successful in taking New York City and some of the lower Hudson Valley area. The force moving south from Canada under Gen. Sir Guy Carleton was stalled at Ft. Ticonderoga however\, and forced to retreat due to the coming of winter. In 1777 Gen. John Burgoyne\, who had been with the British force coming from Canada in ’76\, proposed the plan be tried again\, submitting “Thoughts for Conducting the War on the Side of Canada\,” this time with himself in command. This paper was his attempt to strengthen the existing New York strategy and was soon approved by Lord Germain. \nThis plan became known to history as the Campaign of 1777. The plan called for Burgoyne to advance south from Canada\, up to Lake Champlain\, capture Ft. Ticonderoga\, and then march south along the Hudson to Albany. There he would join Sir William Howe\, who would advance north along the Hudson River from New York City\, already under British control. Barry St. Leger would come as a third force\, advancing west along the Mohawk River Valley. St. Leger’s Force was to act as a diversion\, recruiting loyalists along the way and additionally securing a western water route between Canada and New York City. Howe\, however\, became engaged in a campaign to capture Philadelphia (a plan Lord Germain had also approved believing that American General Washington may become a hindrance to New York\, and that Howe would be done in time to reach Burgoyne) and would never reach Albany. St. Leger became entangled in a futile 21-day siege of Fort Stanwix and was forced to retreat to Canada as American forces from the Albany area began to advance upon him. Burgoyne\, however\, was never informed in a timely manner of his colleagues’ setbacks and continued his march to Albany. \nIn July 1777\, Fort Ticonderoga was lost by the Americans after British General John Burgoyne managed to place a cannon on Mount Defiance (looking down on Fort Ticonderoga) and force Ticonderoga’s garrison under General Arthur St. Clair to evacuate. After capturing Ticonderoga with ease and speed that shook patriot morale\, Burgoyne continued his march south\, defeating American troops at Hubbardton and forcing the evacuation of Forts Anne and Edward. Then his luck began to run out. A column of Hessians (German mercenaries) was sent by Burgoyne to raid Bennington for much needed supplies (horses for unmounted cavalry)\, draft animals\, and food supply and forage). On August 16th\, 1777\, in a small hamlet of Hoosick\, NY called Walloomsac\, a rebel force of roughly 2000 men under the command of General John Stark\, decisively defeated Burgoyne’s detachment of Germans\, loyalists and native allies. This action diminished General Burgoyne’s army by 1000 men\, prevented the capture of important supplies located in nearby Bennington\, VT\, and set the stage for the American victory at Saratoga. \nContinuing southward\, Burgoyne crossed near present-day Stillwater\, where the Americans under Horatio Gates\, had taken up position on Bemis Heights. Burgoyne tried to break through the American lines at Freeman’s Farm (Sept. 19) and at Bemis Heights (Oct. 7). Both attempts failed\, and the British commander\, finding himself outnumbered and surrounded and unable to retreat\, surrendered on October 17\, 1777. \nBurgoyne’s defeat and surrender at Saratoga\, coupled with the victory months prior at Fort Stanwix\, lead directly to the alliances between the United States\, France\, and the Netherlands. These alliances helped to sustain the new United States throughout the rest of the war and directly contributed to the final victory and British surrender at Yorktown in 1781. \nBurgoyne’s Campaign: June-October 1777Turning Point: The Battle of BenningtonBattle of Bennington (from British Battles)[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Bennington Reenactment at the Bennington Battlefield in Wallomsac\, New York. \nTags: Battle of Bennington Reenactment\, Battle of Wallomsac Reenactment\, Bennington Battlefieldc \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-bennington-reenactment/ LOCATION:Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site\, NY-67\, Walloomsac\, NY\, 12090\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Battle-of-Bennington-Reenactment-09b-1350x900.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the Bennington Battlefield":MAILTO:Site Manager David.Pitlyk@parks.ny.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20200420T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20200420T160000 DTSTAMP:20260508T014731 CREATED:20170405T190923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200310T144538Z UID:13866-1587391200-1587398400@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Lexington Patriots Day Parade DESCRIPTION:2020 Lexington Patriots Day Parade\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBe here for the Lexington Patriots Day Parade on Monday\, April 20\, 2020 at 2:00 pm (to watch) in Lexington\, Massachusetts.

The trail was significant in 1775 when it was used by Captain Isaac Davis and the Acton Minutemen to march on Concord during the battles of Lexington and Concord. The trail was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. \nThe Isaac Davis Trail March begins at Isaac Davis’ house (which still stands) in Acton\, and ends at western end of the North Bridge in the Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord. Most of the route is now paved roads\, where in some cases the alignment no longer matches the exact route. Despite this\, the trail route evokes the time of the march\, with its roadways lined with stone walls\, and houses generally set back from the street. \nHistory of the Isaac Davis Trail March\nIn the early dawn hours of April 19th\, 1775\, an alarm rider galloped his way throughout the town of Acton\, warning of the British advance out of Boston. The objective of the march was Concord\, where the British General\, Thomas Gage\, had heard there were stores of weapons\, ammunition\, and supplies for a protracted military campaign. As such\, when the alarm came to Captain Isaac Davis\, the leader of the Acton Minute Company\, he sounded the alarm shots to rally his men to come to his house and prepare to head off for Concord\, a journey of about 7 miles. \nDavis had said that when 30 men had arrived at his house\, he would depart for Concord. As his men arrived\, Isaac’s wife Hannah\, who had been taking care of their four sick children\, made the men breakfast and helped them to powder their wigs. Then they formed up in two long columns and headed out. They had only marched a few paces\, when Davis halted them\, walked back to Hannah as if to say something profound to her\, and said only “Take good care of the children”. Those would be the last words she would ever hear him say\, for the Acton Minutemen marched off to Concord\, met the British head-on at the North Bridge\, and Davis was shot and killed. He would go down in history as the first commissioned officer to die in the service of the new young Republic. \n \nMark your calendar so you don’t forget the next Isaac Davis Trail March on Patriots’ Day starting at the Isaac Davis Homestead in Acton\, MA. \nTags: Isaac Davis Trail March\, Patriot’s Day Events \nView other Patriots Day Reenactments and Other Events\nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/isaac-davis-trail-march/ LOCATION:Isaac Davis Homestead\, 39 Hayward Road\, Acton\, MA\, 01720\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Patriots Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Isaac-Davis-Trail-March-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Acton Historical Society":MAILTO:jenkslibrary@verizon.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20200420T053000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20200420T180000 DTSTAMP:20260508T014731 CREATED:20170407T040347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200310T142339Z UID:13901-1587360600-1587405600@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2020 Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment will take place on Monday\, April 20\, 2020 at 5:30 am on the Lexington Battle Green in Lexington\, Massachusetts. This event recreates the historic skirmish in Lexington on the first day of the American Revolution. Following the ringing of the bell in the Old Belfry\, members of the Lexington Training Band (now known as the Minutemen) gather on Lexington Green to await the column of British Regulars as they march into the town center. A shot rings out\, the skirmish follows\, and the British column marches on towards Concord leaving dead and wounded behind. \n\nBattle on Lexington Green Reenactment\nTo commemorate the anniversary of the first day of the American War for Independence\, the Lexington Minute Men\, and local British Revolutionary War reenactors\, depict the skirmish that took place on Lexington Green\, early on the morning of April 19\, 1775. Witness the tensions mount\, as the local militia company from Lexington confronts the King’s Regulars\, and the ensuing skirmish that follows. The ‘Shot heard ’round the world.’ The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment is on the officially observed Patriot’s Day\, the third Monday of April\, starting at 5:45 am on the Lexington Green. \nArrive early for the best viewing spot.The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment offers a great opportunity to witness our common heritage as Americans.

To rid himself of this interference\, Cornwallis organized a surprise attack on Bound Brook with the help of Hessian Johann Ewald\, captain of the elite Lieb Jaeger Korps. \nAt this time\, American Major General Benjamin Lincoln was staying in the home of Phillip Van Horne on the Old York Road\, now Main Street in Bridgewater\, across the street from TD Bank Ballpark and the Bridgewater New Jersey Transit Train Station. \nVan Horne is said to have been friendly to both sides during the Revolution\, and that Lincoln narrowly escaped out the back door as the British were knocking on the front door. \nLincoln was able to rally his 500 troops to retreat. A band of Continental soldiers fought the British at the Queen’s Bridge and the Stone Arch Bridge that spanned the Raritan River and the Green Brook. Most of the Americans were able to escape to fight another day\, though 60 troops were killed or captured. \nOne of the key locations for the Battle of Bound Brook reenactment is South Bound Brook’s Abraham Staats House\, which served as the headquarters of Baron von Steuben\, the German officer who came to Valley Forge and helped instill discipline and martial skills in the American troops during that bitterly cold encampment in Pennsylvania.

Watch as minutemen from throughout New England convene on the Town Common and march with fife and drum down The Great Road to Wilson Park to watch the official Pole Capping tradition. A minuteman will proclaim freedom by shinnying up a 25-foot pole and placing a red cap atop it\, and British soldier will arrive to disrupt the festivities. The Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony is one of the opening event for all of the minuteman companies of the region; it is a chance for Revolutionary War reenactors to get in uniform and shake off the cobwebs for the winter. \n\nBedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony\nAnnually\,two Saturdays before Patriots’ Day\, the Bedford Minuteman Company and Minuteman Companies from the area converge on Willson Park in Bedford to commemorate the spirit and courage of the patriots who sparked the American Revolution. \nBedford Pole Capping Revived in 1965\nThe modern tradition of pole capping in Bedford began in 1965 following the formation of the modern-day Bedford Minuteman Company the previous year. The history of pole capping dates back to Roman times but was most prevalent during colonial times. The most notable pole capping took place in Boston in 1765 and was a tree\, not a pole\, located at juncture of Washington and Essex Streets. The “Liberty Tree” was a symbol of the Sons of Liberty\, a revolutionary organization. When a red flag was raised at the top of the tree\, it was a sign to for the group to organize. Liberty Poles sprang up in communities around the colonies\, including Bedford. Today\, the annual Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony takes place as a celebration of Bedford’s resolve and patriotic spirit during the American Revolution. \nBedford Liberty Pole Capping Mini-Gallery\n[/fusion_gallery]\n \nThe Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony features a march\, displays of musketry\, and music of the period performed by the men and women of the many Minuteman Companies in attendance. But the main event – which draws not only spectators\, but also the soldiers of His Majesty’s 10th Regiment of Foot\, intent on stopping the defiant rabble-rousing – is the raising of a tall wooden pole\, which is climbed by a Bedford Minuteman and affixed with a red knitted cap. \nThe “Pole Capping” reenacts the practice in Colonial America of dissatisfaction with varied rulings and conduct of the English government. This defiance to the British Crown showed the spirit of liberty exemplified by Bedfordians and other colonials in the early phases of the War for Independence. \nThe Town of Bedford displayed equally the spirit and courage of their compatriots with\, among other acts of courage\, the erection of their own Liberty Poles. It is in commemoration of those men\, and their American feeling for Liberty at the Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony\, that the Bedford Minuteman Company conducts its annual Liberty Pole Capping and Raising ceremonies. \nParticipants in the Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony\nThe Stow Minutemen: The annual Liberty Pole Capping Parade and ceremonies is the traditional kickoff for fife and drum corps. You’ll want to BE THERE no later than 10:00 am\, Parade steps off promptly at 10:30am. We meet in the high school parking lot over near the tennis courts and soccer fields directly in front of the school.

Major General Nathanael Greene\, defending the ground at Guilford Courthouse with an army of almost 4\,500 American militia and Continentals\, was tactically defeated by a smaller British army of about 1\,900 veteran regulars and German allies commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After 2-1/2 hours of intense and often brutal fighting\, Cornwallis forced his opponent to withdraw from the field. Greene’s retreat preserved the strength of his army\, but Cornwallis’s frail victory was won at the cost of over 25% of his army. \nGuilford Courthouse proved to be the highwater mark of British military operations in the Revolutionary War. Weakened in his campaign against Greene\, Cornwallis abandoned the Carolinas hoping for success in Virginia. At Yorktown\, seven months after his victory at Guilford Courthouse\, Lord Cornwallis would surrender to the combined American and French forces under General George Washington. \nFor More Information: \nGuilford Battleground Company patriots@guilfordbattlegroundcompany.org\nReenactor Information: carlivar@yahoo.com \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment in Greensboro\, North Carolina. \n \nTags: Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment\, Guilford Courthouse Battle Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-guilford-courthouse-reenactment/ LOCATION:Greensboro Country Park\, 3905 Nathanael Green Drive\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27455\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Battle-of-Guilford-Courthouse-Reenactment-07-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Guilford Battleground Company":MAILTO:patriots@guilfordbattlegroundcompany.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200215 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200217 DTSTAMP:20260508T014731 CREATED:20190124T222309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200115T143830Z UID:33171-1581724800-1581897599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:American Heritage Festival Revolutionary War Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2020 American Heritage Festival Revolutionary War Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate history at the 5th Annual American Heritage Festival Revolutionary War Reenactment\, on February 15-16\, 2020\, at Graham’s Historic Farm near Lake City\, SC.

The Temple is across the street from the Old Barracks and sits on ground where the Battle of Trenton was fought. As the home of Freemasons\, emphasis was made to give the neo-classical design Temple an impressive and solid appearance\, using stone wherever possible. The Temple was the first building in Trenton to be clad in Indiana limestone. The first floor was designed to have a grand parlor\, a library\, and a game room\, providing an elegant setting for the Colonial Ball at Historic Trenton Masonic Temple. \nAbout the Old Barracks Museum\nThe Old Barracks Museum preserves the history of a building that was built as a French and Indian War military barracks and used as a Revolutionary War military hospital. It stood witness to Washington’s crucial victory at the Battle of Trenton. In 1903\, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames organized The Old Barracks Association and spearheaded a campaign to fund a major restoration\, in partnership with the State of New Jersey. The building has been used as a museum for over a century\, and has frequently been used as a symbol for the state of New Jersey. The Old Barracks Museum welcomes visitors from across the state as well as around the world. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Colonial Ball at Historic Trenton Masonic Temple on the Friday after Christmas\, in Trenton\, New Jersey. \nTags: Colonial Ball at Historic Trenton Masonic Temple\, Colonial Ball\, Old Barracks Museum\, Trenton’s Patriots Week Celebration\, Old Barracks Association\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/colonial-ball-at-historic-trenton-masonic-temple/ LOCATION:Historic Trenton Masonic Temple\, 100 Barrack Street\, Trenton\, PA\, 08608\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Colonial-Ball-at-Historic-Trenton-Masonic-Temple-02-1350x900.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old Barracks Association":MAILTO:info@barracks.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20191225T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20191225T150000 DTSTAMP:20260508T014732 CREATED:20171028T182649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190511T174210Z UID:19198-1577278800-1577286000@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Washington Christmas Day Crossing Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Washington Christmas Day Crossing Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the annual Washington Christmas Day Crossing Reenactment on December 25\, 2019 at the Washington Crossing Historic Park in Washington Crossing\, Pennsylvania.

We suggest visitors arrive before 1:00 P.M. on Christmas Day to ensure a good place along the viewing line. \nOrigins of the Crossing Event\nWhile the annual crossing has been popular for decades\, it had difficulty in its early origins. The first few attempts at a commemoration Crossing in 1838 and then again in 1876 lead to rowdiness among the reenactors and the event was not repeated again for nearly 100 years. In 1947\, a fraternity promoted a non-hazing initiation by reenacting the famous trip across the Delaware\, sparking new interest in holding an annual Crossing. When National Geographic Magazine featured a story about the Crossing in 1952 complete with photos\, the modern tradition was born. \nAbout Washington Crossing Historic Park (Pennsylvania side)\nWashington Crossing Historic Park is located at the intersection of Routes 532 and 32 (River Road) in Washington Crossing\, Pennsylvania. Parking will be clearly marked.

Eventually\, it was moved to Great Bridge Battlefield Park South on Battlefield Boulevard\, the original site of the historic battle. \nBattle of Great Bridge Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n\n \nReenactors and historical interpreters who have regularly participated in the battle event have created an increased local interest in the battle that has generated enthusiasm for the creation of the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways history museum that is scheduled to open its doors by December 2018. \nWhat was once considered a mere footnote skirmish in the annals of America’s War for Independence is now regarded as a pivotal battle during the early days of the conflict. It’s known as “the Southern Bunker Hill” but this time on Dec. 9\, 1775\, at a berm known as Great Bridge\, just a musket ball shot from next weekend’s event\, the Patriots defeated an army of professional British soldiers and Tory militia. It opened southern supply routes and allowed the important Norfolk harbor to fall in Continental hands. \n \nFREE to the Public\nHours:: Saturday & Sunday 10 am to 4 pm \nConcessions: available for sale on both days. \nFor More Information:\nAngela J.

Morris acted as a farmer\, ship owner\, miller\, iron-master\, shop-owner\, and owner of the mill now known as Mather Mill. Hope Lodge is an excellent example of early Georgian architecture\, and it is possible that Edmund Woolley\, architect of Independence Hall\, offered advice in building. Samuel Morris owned the estate until his death in 1770\, when it was inherited by his brother Joshua. Joshua in turn sold the property and dwelling to another Philadelphia merchant\, William West. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next 1777 Whitemarsh Encampment ((Hope Lodge Encampment)) on the first weekend of November at the Hope Lodge Mansion in Fort Washington\, Pennsylvania. \n \nTags: 1777 Whitemarsh Encampment\, Hope Lodge Encampment\, Historic Hope Lodge Encampment Reenactment\, Hope Lodge \nView other Revolutionary War Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/1777-whitemarsh-encampment/ LOCATION:Hope Lodge Mansion\, 553 S.

Fun\, food\, and activities for everyone! \nAbout Jonas Cattell Memorial Run\nAt the age of 18\, in October 1777\, Jonas Cantwell became a hero. At that time\, a force of Hessian troops was camped in Haddonfield. Jonas was said to have been apprenticed to a blacksmith in Haddonfield\, but had stayed there too late and was arrested by the soldiers for violating curfew. His punishment was to spend the night in jail until first light. During the night\, Jonas overheard the Hessian and British soldiers discussing a surprise\, early morning attack they were planning for the following day. They planned to march to Fort Mercer on the Delaware River and overthrow the American patriots who were stationed there. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”More about Jonas Cattell”]\nJonas Cattell was familiar with all of the back trails in the area. In fact\, he was known to have created a number of the trails. When he was released the following morning\, Jonas used those back trails and ran the ten miles from Haddonfield to Fort Mercer so he could warn the patriots. Thanks to his knowledge of the area\, he arrived well before the Hessians. This warning allowed the Americans to strategically position themselves to defend their fort. Even though the American patriots were outnumbered by three to one\, because they were able to prepare for the battle against the Hessians\, they were able to defeat the Hessian and British soldiers\, and to inflict massive casualties while suffering minimal losses within their own ranks. After the battle\, Jonas Cattell enlisted in the American forces and served throughout the Revolutionary War. \nThe Jonas Cattell Run was started in 1969 to honor this great American hero\, and takes place each year during October. The Jonas Cattell Run starts at King’s Court in Haddonfield and finishes at Fort Mercer in National Park\, New Jersey. The Haddonfield DAR Chapter presents a plaque to the first teenage runner to reach the finish line at Fort Mercer[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nAbout the Battle of Red Bank\nLate in September 1777\, Philadelphia was captured by British General William Howe\, with a serious disadvantage. Extensive American river defenses blocked the shipping of food and supplies to the British army and citizens of Philadelphia. A major attack was planned against the garrison at Fort Mercer. A British brigade of about 1\,200 Hessians under Colonel Carl Emil Ulrich Von Donop was ferried over to Coopers Ferry (now Camden) spending the night in Haddonfield. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nOn the morning of October 22\, 1777\, Colonel Von Donop and his brigade marched on Fort Mercer. Young Jonas Cattell\, an apprentice blacksmith\, alerted Colonel Christopher Greene that a surprise attack was imminent. Around 4 pm\, the attack began. Quickly gaining the old northern section of the fort\, the Hessians faced another 10 foot wall and abatis of sharpened tree trunks and branches. The disordered Hessians tried to move forward\, but the Americans gained the advantage and held the fort. Hessian casualties amounted to over 500\, including the mortally wounded Von Donop; while American counted 14 killed and 23 wounded out of 600. Many of the wounded\, including Von Donop were taken to the Whitall house where they were tended by American doctors and Ann Whitall\, who had remained in her home. Colonel Von Donop died in another house nearby and was interred with remains of his brigade on the battlefield. \nThe battle of Red Bank resulted in heavy losses to the British and was a much needed morale builder to Washington’s army\, giving new hope and rallying the spirits of the soldiers. This victory coupled with the British defeat at Saratoga\, New York\, resulted in the French decision to enter the war against Great Britain.

The annual event takes place on the last weekend of October\, transforming the picturesque grounds of the Locust Grove Estate into an interactive living history exhibit offering an unforgettable experience. The two-day 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove features staged battle reenactments between British and American troops\, historically accurate arts and crafts from blacksmiths and Georgian age crafters and roaming historians filled with information and anecdotes that are great for all ages. \n\n18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove\nJoin with Locust Grove and the Illinois Regiment of Virginia as they bring the spirit of the past alive with the 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove. You can participate in 18th c. style entertainment\, purchase replicas of 18th century military and household items\, enjoy food and drink as our founders did\, meet and converse with early Americans. Mock battles for our country’s independence feature General George Rogers Clark’s own company\, the Illinois Regiment of Virginia\, as well as British Dragoons and Marines\, and German Hessians. \nExperience Historic Locust Grove as it comes alive with the sounds of chatting and bargaining\, the smells of wood smoke and gunpowder\, and all the sights you would expect from a Market Fair set in the 1780s. Visitors will be able to converse with men\, women\, and children about life during the final years of the War for Independence\, tour the house\, perhaps join in a militia drill or two\, learn songs and games from the period\, and of course\, shop at all the booths and tents that will spring up on the grounds! Over 25 vendors will be selling their period wares\, from pottery to spoons to bread to bonnets. The property is divided between the Americans and the British\, so be sure to take a tour of both camps to see and hear both sides of the story. \nMarket Fairs seem special to us today\, but they were commonplace in Colonial America. Markets held in town squares or other designated marketplaces allowed far-flung members of the community to come into nascent towns to buy\, sell\, and trade goods and gossip. Markets helped communities to grow and towns to be more firmly established\, with permanent stores and other trappings of civilization. \nHere at Locust Grove\, Market Fair is treated in much the same way as in the 1780s. The community has grown a great deal since the founding of Louisville in 1778\, and they enjoy this time to catch up with neighbors and friends. The 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove offers an opportunity to check in on that earlier era\, and immerse yourself in the daily activities of those who have come before us. Like Market Fairs of old\, there is something for everyone. Market Fair is a rain or shine event\, and there is plenty to do under cover even if we have some showers. \n18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove Mini Gallery\n\n \nConcessions available.
