It also stood witness to Washington’s crucial victory at the Battle of Trenton. At the beginning of the 20th century\, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames organized The Old Barracks Association and spearheaded a campaign to purchase the building. The building has been 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. \nABOUT HM 17TH REGIMENT OF INFANTRY: \nThe recreated HM 17th Regiment of Infantry was established in 2002 with the mission to provide for its members and the public the experiences of the common British soldier throughout the American Revolution\, specifically at historic sites from the Hudson River Valley to Virginia. The group works as a collective to research\, recreate historically accurate uniforms and equipment\, and provide living history displays to vividly teach and engage the public with history. The recreated 17th strives for meaningful\, research-based public interpretation of the perspectives of the British soldier\, and engage with broader questions of what it meant to be “British” and “American” nearly 250 years ago. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next British Occupation Day on the first Saturday in December at the Old Barracks in Trenton\, New Jersey. \nTags: British Occupation Day\, British Occupation of the Old Barracks\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/british-occupation-day-trenton/ LOCATION:Old Barracks Museum\, 101 Barrack Street\, Trenton\, NJ\, 08608\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,4th of July Weekend Rendezvous & Historic Reenactments,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/British-Occupation-Day-in-Trenton-10-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old Barracks Association":MAILTO:info@barracks.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191207 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191209 DTSTAMP:20181231T134427Z CREATED:20180924T083738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181231T134427Z UID:28283-1575676800-1575849599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Great Bridge Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Battle of Great Bridge Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the excitement of the Battle of Great Bridge Reenactment on December 7-8\, 2019 at Battlefield Park South in Chesapeake\, Virginia. This two-day event is held at the Great Bridge Bridge\, which is the original site of the Battle of Great Bridge that took place on December 9\, 1775. Step back in time with us. The location is by the Intracoastal Canal in the shadow of the Great Bridge Bridge. \n\nBattle of Great Bridge Reenactment\nStep back in time with us. The Battle of Great Bridge Reenactment features re-enactments of two pivotal Revolutionary War battles: the Battle at Kemps Landing and the Battle of Great Bridge. The event also features Revolutionary War encampments\, demonstrations\, character portrayals\, camp life\, historical displays and lectures\, skilled artisans demonstrating early American trades\, and children’s crafts and activities. \nSince that first reenactment\, the battle of Great Bridge evolved into a two-day annual event sponsored by the Chesapeake Department of Parks\, Recreation and Tourism. Initially it was held at Chesapeake City Park in Greenbrier. 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.

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.

The Battle was the first planned attack by the American army during the Revolutionary War and aimed at liberating Philadelphia from British control. Eleven of Historic Germantown’s sites were involved in the October 4\, 1777 Battle\, with Cliveden as the main stage. The tradition of remembering the Battle of Germantown through reenactment dates to the 150th anniversary in 1927\, where people dressed in their ancestors’ clothing to show their connections to the historic event. Today\, the Revolutionary Germantown Festival and Germantown Battle Reenactments that it includes\, tells the diverse stories of everyone involved\, from General George Washington\, to Ned Hector\, an African American Patriot teamster\, and even the pacifist Quakers who got caught in the cross-fire. \nHistory of the Battle of Germantown\nOne day in history\, General George Washington’s daring campaign to liberate the occupied capital city\, Philadelphia\, came to an abrupt end on the Germantown Road on October 4\, 1777. Washington planned a pre-dawn attack on Germantown\, where thousands of British soldiers were camped in the fields\, living off the crops and livestock of the local residents. Homes were commandeered as headquarters for the British officers\, including General William Howe at Stenton. Nearly 12\,000 Continental troops were marshaled for the attack\, yet 120 British infantrymen proved unbeatable as they barricaded themselves inside the thick stone walls of Cliveden\, the summer house of the wealthy Loyalist Benjamin Chew.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nFierce fighting raged for several hours throughout the area\, but Washington’s troops were eventually forced to retreat back into Montgomery County and the British tightened their hold on the town. After the Battle\, local teenagers helped to bury the dead in mass graves. More than 150 American soldiers were killed — about half of them on the grounds of Cliveden — and 70 British. Hundreds more on both sides were wounded. The Battle of Germantown left indelible scars on the community.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Revolutionary Germantown Festival and Battle Reenactment on the first Saturday in October around the Cliveden Mansion in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania. \n \nTags: Revolutionary Germantown Festival\, Germantown Battle Reenactment\, Battle of Germantown Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactmetn \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/revolutionary-germantown-festival-and-battle-reenactment/ LOCATION:Cliveden Mansion\, 6400 Germantown Avenue\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19144\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Revolutionary-Germantown-Festival-54-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Historic Germantown":MAILTO:programs@freedomsbackyard.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191005 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191007 DTSTAMP:20181226T123352Z CREATED:20160907T145101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181226T123352Z UID:8107-1570233600-1570406399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Feast of the Hunters Moon DESCRIPTION:2019 Feast of the Hunters Moon\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 52nd Annual Feast of the Hunters Moon on October 5-6\,  2019 at Historic Fort Ouiatenon Park near West Lafayette\, Indiana.

The attack on the Kentucky settlement of Boonesborough was led by Chief Blackfish\, a Shawnee leader allied to the British. Months before the battle\, Blackfish had captured and adopted Daniel Boone\, the founder of Boonesborough. Boone escaped the Shawnees in time to lead the defense of the settlement. Blackfish’s siege was unsuccessful and was lifted after ten days. Boone was then court-martialed by fellow officers who suspected him of having British sympathies. Boone was acquitted\, but he soon moved away from Boonesborough. \nAbout Fort Boonesborough\nRichard Henderson\, founder of the Transylvania Company in 1775\, chose Daniel Boone to head a party of 31 axe men to clear a path through the Cumberland Gap that would run from Long Island of the Holston River\, Tennessee\, to Otter Creek of the Kentucky River. Blazing the trail presented extraordinary difficulties – the route through the wilderness was a hunter’s trace that was too narrow for a wagon. The task was to combine The task was to combine many trails into one continuous route by clearing underbrush and overhanging foliage. When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1\, 1775\, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky?s second settlement–the site still known as Fort Boonesborough. \nFor more information about 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment: Phone 859-527-3131 ext 216 or email Fort Manager bill.farmer@ky.gov \nLocation\nFort Boonesborough State Park\n4375 Boonesborough Rd.\nRichmond\, Ky. 40475 \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment at at Fort Boonesborough State Park in Richmond\, Kentucky in September. \nTags: 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment\, Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment\, Fort Boonesborough 1778 Seige Reenactment\, American Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView Other Texas Revolution Events\nView other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/1778-siege-of-fort-boonesborough-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Boonesborough State Park\, 4375 Boonesborough Road\, Richmond\, KY\, 40475\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1778-Siege-of-Boonesborough-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Fort Boonesborough Foundation":MAILTO:bill.farmer@ky.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190928 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190929 DTSTAMP:20190206T092139Z CREATED:20161003T145222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190206T092139Z UID:8588-1569628800-1569715199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster DESCRIPTION:2019 Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster on September 28\, 2019 at historic Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury\, Massachusetts for a full day of music\, muskets\, history\, and fun.

These groups include the host Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie\, local groups including the Middlesex County Volunteers\, William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum Corps\, Middlesex 4-H Fife and Drum Corps\, Lincoln Minutemen\, Stow Minutemen and Regimental Music of Saintonge and other groups. \nThe grand parade of fifes and drums will begin at noon and will be followed directly by a performance by each of the corps attending. The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster is a celebration rather than a competition. The corps appear by invitation\, and attend to share their music and friendship with other Fife & Drum Corps. \nIn the days preceding the Revolutionary War\, militia would usually muster to drill twice each year\, once in the spring and the other in the fall. Following their drill\, the militia would be joined by their families and celebrate with good food and drink\, music and games. \nAdmission & Hours\nAdmission: $2 (donation) for adults in contemporary dress\nHours: 11:30 pm – 5:00 pm \nA Day at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster\nThe Sudbury Companies of Militia & Minute and the Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie host this full day of Revolutionary War era living history. The militia will execute its manual of arms. Then contra dancers will entertain the morning crowd in the main muster field. Soon after that\, the Sudbury militia will call for an assembly\, the town crier announce that the town of Sudbury had formed a local militia and then introduce the newly elected officers of the Sudbury Companies. Shortly after the colonel begins drilling his militia\, British Regulars will arrive to arrest the newly installed colonel. The militia watch as their colonel is put in stocks and later taken away. They then pursue the Redcoats and exchange musket fire along the service road. When the musket fire ends\, the Redcoats surrender. \n \nDay at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster\nFifes and drums will then be heard in the distance as they assemble for their parade from the Grist Mill to the muster field. After the parade\, each fife and drum company returns to play a stand piece. Throughout the day\, militia and regiments can be seen and visited in their encampments. Living history demonstrations will include a blacksmith\, tinsmith\, potters\, bakers and ladies working a kitchen. Vendors and sutlers will be selling their wares to participant and specators alike. \nLocation\nLongfellow’s Wayside Inn\n72 Wayside Inn Road\nSudbury\, MA 01776 \nParking: Available in three areas\, entered off The Wayside Inn Road service road\, Route 20 itself\, and Dutton Road. \nCamping: Entrance to the participant camping grounds is by the “service entrance” road.

John Brown\, no stranger to dangerous missions\, helped engineer the first capture of Ticonderoga in 1775. With the stakes all the higher\, he would test his luck again. As General Gates prepared to stop the British advance on Albany\, he ordered General Lincoln to divide\, divert\, and harass General Burgoyne’s supply lines back to Canada. Colonel Brown chose his men carefully\, allowed first pick of the ragtag patriot force assembled by General Lincoln at Pawlet\, Vermont. Massachusetts and Vermont militia men would get their chance to strike a major blow against General Burgoyne’s attack to divide the colonies. Steadying them would be regulars from Colonel Warner’s regiment of Vermonters. Out front\, Vermont rangers were to lead the way. Leading the rangers was\, Captain Benjamin Whitcomb\, a ranger so skilled in his craft he was a wanted man to the British Army. \nRushing down into the LeChute river valley from Lake George landing\, Brown’s men captured 330 British prisoners and set 118 American POWs free. Dawn at Fort Ticonderoga would see British Cannons atop Mount Defiance\, which forced the American’s to flee that summer\, turned on the British garrison itself. British soldiers awoke to the sight of a Brunswick soldier cut in half by a British cannon ball fired by Brown’s men from the summit of that hill. Rearmed with captured British weapons\, American POWs got a chance to settle their score shoulder to shoulder with Brown’s militia\, regulars\, and rangers. Destroying supplies\, and livestock\, capturing boats\, guns\, and cannons\, Colonel John Brown’s raiders disappeared back up Lake George\, jumping into the pages of history. \nFort Ticonderoga Browns Raid Reenactor Information\nMark you calendar today so you won’t miss the Fort Ticonderoga Browns Raid Reenactment in September at Historic Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga\, New York. \n \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Browns Raid Reenactment\, Fort Ticonderoga\, Fort Ticonderoga Browns Raid Revolutionary War Reenactment\, New York Revolutionary War Reenactment \nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations\nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-browns-raid-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary 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/2016/09/Fort-Ticonderoga-Browns-Raid-Reenactment-03-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190914 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190916 DTSTAMP:20181112T141208Z CREATED:20170319T140538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181112T141208Z UID:13110-1568419200-1568591999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:One Fort: Three Wars at Fort Frederick State Park DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the Annual One Fort: Three Wars at Fort Frederick State Park on September 14-15\, 2019 in Big Pool\, Maryland and discover\, through living history demonstrations\, the part Fort Frederick played during the French and Indian War\, American Revolution and Civil War. Hours are 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Park entrance fees apply. \nOne Fort: Three Wars at Fort Frederick will give visitors a look at life in the fort as volunteers exhibit the varied roles the Fort played during the French and Indian War\, the American Revolution\, and the Civil War. \nThough Fort Frederick isn’t famous for ‘Heroic Last Stands’ or battles\, its re-use throughout history\, for such a variety or reasons makes it unique. Activities and living history encampments will give visitors a look into the small heroics of history; the daily lives of the people who served throughout these much larger conflicts. \nHighlights of One Fort: Three Wars at Fort Frederick include: \n\nFlag Raising\nFrench and Indian War Era Military Drill\n“Sundry women” – women’s roles in the 18th Century\n18th Century Military Field Music\nVolunteer Company Drill\nCole’s Maryland Cavalry (Union) in the Civil War (Saturday ONLY)\nAmerican Revolutionary War Drill\n“Forsaking their Plantation” Maryland Refugees during Pontiac’s War of 1763\nThe Life of a British Prisoner of War during the American Revolution\nCivil War Military drill\nFlag Lowering\n\nAdmission Fees\nThere is a service charge of $3 per car for Maryland residents and $5 per car for non-Maryland residents for this event.

Originally built by Governor Horatio Sharpe of Maryland to protect the frontier during the French and Indian War\, his decision to build it of stone made it a lasting monument\, and a place to reuse. Twenty years later George Washington sent one of his Colonels to the Fort to turn it into a Prison camp\, and throughout the War of Independence 1000 British prisoners were kept captive\, guarded by American Troops. By the Civil War the Fort was in ruins and used as farmland\, but with the proximity of the Canal and Railway\, Union troops would often camp in those ruins to protect those supply lines from Confederate raiders. While not a turning point in history for any of those conflicts\, the program will allow a closer look at life for the common soldier serving in the Wars that shaped the Nation. For more details and program times contact the Park Visitor Center at 301-842-2155. \nFood\, gift\, and souvenir items will be available for sale at Captain Wort’s Sutler Shop. In addition to programs in the Fort\, the Parks visitor centre and exterior museums have more exhibits about its history\, including uniforms\, artifacts\, and a video. \nFort Frederick is located off of Rt 70 exit 12 at State Route 56\, Big Pool\, MD.

(Although we claim to be in 1797\, a 21st century ID is still required of guests!) \nNative American Village\nFollow the sound of drums down a forest trail to visit the growing Woodlands Indian Village. The Fair at New Boston is on the former site of two Shawnee villages\, Peckuwe and Kispoko. Handicrafts\, games\, and demonstrations of Shawnee\, Mingo\, Miami\, Wyandotte\, and other tribes are featured. All day\, you can learn how food was prepared in camp at live cooking demonstrations. This is also one of the shadiest places to come on a hot\, sunny afternoon. \nMusic\nMusic was enjoyed in 1797 in many different forms\, as it is now. Relax in a historic tavern while listening to music of the era. Musicians playing violins\, mandolins\, guitars\, and even bagpipes move from tavern to tavern and rove throughout the area. The coffeehouse is a center of entertainment and a place where you can enjoy a game of checkers or chess. \nBattle Reenactment and Cannon\nThrill to the boom of the full-sized Revolutionary War cannon. The Mad River Light Artillery Revolutionary War reenactor group sets up their bronze British Light six-pounder at the top of the hill near the flagpole and militia encampment.

The First Mad River Light Artillery near the flag pole will be available to answer questions. \nGrand Camera Obscura\nNear the entrance to the Fair at New Boston\, an oddly shaped tent will most likely be first to catch your attention. It’s the Grand Camera Obscura. Fair attendees can be among a relatively fortunate few who can enjoy this historical scientific attraction\, which is just like the one seen in Paris more than 200 years ago. Step into the round tent and be prepared to be amazed. \n\nPremier Living History Event\nThere is time after the battle to finish shopping\, get something to eat\, and catch another of the entertainers. You will also want to see the closing ceremonies at the end of the day. \nAll of this is why the Fair at New Boston is recognized as a premiere living history event. All the music\, entertainment\, clothing\, methods of cooking\, foods served\, merchandise booths\, and equipment used by the artisans are juried (or judged) to ensure authenticity to the period. It is also special because it is held on an historic site. George Rogers Clark Park was the site of the Battle of Peckuwe\, the Shawnee villages of Peckuwe and Kispoko\, and the frontier town of New Boston. The Fair at New Boston is our way of remembering our history. There is so much to do at the Fair at New Boston that many visitors come back for a second day of fun on Sunday. \nParticipant Information\nThis is a juried event.

It was built in what is now Perrysburg\, Ohio\, on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River rapids. Ground was broken on February 2\, 1813 under the orders of General William Henry Harrison\, who wanted to fortify the region. Throughout the next three months professional soldiers and militiamen alike persevered through cold winter weather and mud that would at times be knee-deep. Despite horrid weather and disease in the camp\, the American army was able to complete Fort Meigs by the end of April\, 1813\, just in time for a British attack. Begin your journey in the Fort Meigs Visitor Center. Purchase tickets to explore the fort or shop the museum store. The administrative offices\, museum\, education center\, restrooms and vending machines are all found in the Visitor Center. All visits to Fort Meigs begin and end here.

On the morning of July 29\, 1781\, while Alston and his band of revolutionaries were camped at the home\, they were attacked by a larger unit of Tories\, whose leader was the notorious David Fanning. \nMrs. Alston and the children sought refuge by standing inside the chimney of the home. When the loyalists decided to set the home on fire by rolling against it a cart filled with burning straw\, Mrs. Alston bravely went to the front porch and negotiated a truce. \nAfter several casualties on both sides\, Alston surrendered. The house was left riddled with bullet holes\, many of which can still be seen today. \nAbout the Alston House\nThe House in the Horseshoe is a historic house in Sanford\, North Carolina \, and a historic site managed by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources’ Historic Sites division. \nLocation\nHouse in the Horseshoe State Historic Site\n288 Alston House Road\nSanford\, NC 27330\n910-947-2051 \nMark your calendar so you don’t miss the next House in the Horseshoe Battle Reenactment the first weekend in August in Sanford\, North Carolina. \n \nTags: House in the Horseshoe Battle Reenactment\, House in the Horseshoe Revolutionary War Battle Reenactment\, Living History \nView Horseshoe Militia Muster & Candlelight Tour Details URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/house-in-the-horseshoe-battle-reenactment/ LOCATION:House in the Horseshoe State Historic Site\, 288 Alston House Road\, Sanford\, NC\, 27330\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary 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/2016/08/House-in-the-Horseshoe-Battle-Reenactment-01-850s567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Carolina Historic Sites":MAILTO:ncsites@ncdcr.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190727 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190729 DTSTAMP:20190227T134544Z CREATED:20160813T123343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190227T134544Z UID:7187-1564185600-1564358399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Rendezvous in the Sault DESCRIPTION:2019 Rendezvous in the Sault\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 6th Annual Rendezvous in the Sault on July 27-28\, 2019 at the City Hall Grounds in Sault Ste Marie\, Michigan.

Before all that\, it was the main gathering place of the Anishanaabeg where the adjacent land served as the Wadjiwong (Great Hill) Ancient Burial Grounds; one of the earliest known Anishinaabeg graveyards. \nFor More Information: Angie Patterson Email: apatterson@sault.com Phone: (906) 632-5734 \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Rendezvous in the Sault at the City Hall Grounds in Sault Ste Marie\, Michigan. \n \nTags: Rendezvous in the Sault\, Voyageur Rendezvous in the Sault\, Michigan Voyageur Rendezvous\, Michigan Rendezvous \nView Other Michigan Rendezvous URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/rendezvous-in-the-sault/ LOCATION:Sault Ste Marie City Hall Grounds\, 225 E Portage Ave\, Sault Ste Marie\, MI\, 49783\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,French & Indian War Reenactment,History Festivals,Living History Events,Michigan Rendezvous,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Same week in month,Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Rendezvous-in-the-Sault-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chippewa County Historical Society of Michigan":MAILTO:ChippewaHistory@outlook.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190720 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190722 DTSTAMP:20190416T124743Z CREATED:20160626T091913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190416T124743Z UID:5803-1563580800-1563753599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Cass River Colonial Encampment DESCRIPTION:2019 Cass River Colonial Encampment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the Cass River Colonial Encampment on July 20-21\, 2019 at Frankenmuth River Place Shops in Frankenmuth\, Michigan.

Captain Christian Huck was a Loyalist officer noted for his “particular dislike for the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians in the South Carolina backcountry or ‘rebels’ as the British called them.” James Williamson’s 18th-century plantation is part of the 775-acres that comprises Historic Brattonsville. \nCaptain Christian Huck and his Loyalist troops were soundly defeated in the early morning hours of July 12\, 1780\, in a battle that took place at the home of William Bratton’s neighbor\, James Williamson. This victory inspired confidence for backcountry Patriots and began to turn the tide for success in winning Independence from King George. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t forget the next Battle of Hucks Defeat Reenactment in July at Historic Brattonsville in McConnells\, South Carolina. \nTags: Battle of Hucks Defeat Reenactment\, Hucks Defeat Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment\, South Carolina Revolutionary War Reenactment \n \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-hucks-defeat-reenactment/ LOCATION:Historic Brattonsville\, 1444 Brattonsville Road\, McConnells\, SC\, 29726\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Battle-of-Hucks-Defeat-Reenactment-17-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Historic Brattonsville":MAILTO:scheduler@chmuseums.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190706T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190706T200000 DTSTAMP:20190510T113615Z CREATED:20170425T163915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190510T113615Z UID:14101-1562410800-1562443200@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Colonial Faire at Riley's Farm DESCRIPTION:2019 Colonial Faire at Riley’s Farm\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 5th Annual Colonial Faire at Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen\, California each Saturday in July\, plus the 4th\, is a family-friendly\, interactive cultural event aimed at entertaining and educating the public about life in the American colonies in the late 18th century. \n\nColonial Faire at Riley’s Farm\nGo back in time to a bustling New England village and be here as it comes to life in as Colonial Chesterfield hosts interactive dramatic presentations\, swordplay demonstrations and duels of honor\, music and theatre\, old-fashioned games\, hands-on activities and classic sports like tomahawk throwing and archery (ages 8+)\, colonial crafts like candle dipping and weaving\, and unique shopping with local artisans and colonial sutlers. \nCulinary delights abound in the Hawk’s Head Publick House\, which serves hearty country comfort cuisine\, fine wines\, ales\, and hard ciders.

During the early morning hours of July 7\, 1777\, British General John Burgoyne’s army met the resistance and bravery of Americans for the first time in the Battle of Hubbardton. A massive British invasion from Canada chased the Continental Army from Mount Independence south to Hubbardton. \nThe British strategy was to continue to New York and divide New England from the rest of the colonies. On a grassy hill\, the New Englanders made their stand. While the British held the field and technically won the battle\, their losses were so heavy that they gave up chasing the Americans to tend to their casualties. The Battle of Hubbardton marked the beginning of the end for Burgoyne and his great plan. On August 16 he suffered a stunning blow at the Battle of Bennington. On October 17\, 1777\, after the battles of Saratoga\, he surrendered with his entire Army\, an action that was of great importance in persuading the French to enter the war on the side of the Americans. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Hubbardton Revolutionary War Encampment Weekend at the Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site in Hubbardton\, VT. \nTags: Hubbardton Revolutionary War Encampment Weekend\, Hubbardton Revolutionary War Reenactment\, Vermont Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-hubbardton-revolutionary-war-encampment-weekend/ LOCATION:Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site\, 5696 Monument Hill Road\, Hubbardton\, VT\, 05735\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Battle-of-Hubbardton-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-Weekend-14-1600x1067.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Hubbardton Historical Society":MAILTO:history@hubbardton.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190704T093000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190704T170000 DTSTAMP:20190627T010809Z CREATED:20160925T170959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190627T010809Z UID:8501-1562232600-1562259600@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Ticonderoga Independence Day Weekend DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Ticonderoga Independence Day Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us at the Fort Ticonderoga Independence Day Weekend from July 4\, 2019 for a celebration this Independence weekend to celebrate America’s greatest triumph in 1776.

General Horatio Gates\, their newly-appointed commander\, quickly sprung into action reorganizing\, resupplying\, and restoring the discipline of America’s northern defense. Gates put soldiers from New England\, New York\, New Jersey\, and Pennsylvania to work building earthworks all around the old Fort of Ticonderoga and constructing a navy to defend Lake Champlain. \n1776 was a year of rebuilding the Northern Army as part of building a new nation. While the Continental Congress discussed the finer points of declaring independence in Philadelphia\, the shattered remnants of the Continental Army which had come so close to capturing Quebec trickled back down to Fort Ticonderoga. Frost bitten\, starving\, and decimated by smallpox these soldiers began building up bulwarks and America’s first navy to defend their new nation. A new Continental Army emerged reinforced by soldiers from Pennsylvania\, Connecticut\, Massachusetts\, New Jersey\, New Hampshire and New York\, to guard Fort Ticonderoga. \nWhile the declaration itself was signed July 4th\, news of the document and the patriotic sentiment it carried would not reach the Northern Army at Fort Ticonderoga until July 28th.
