Period reenactors set up tents\, don period dress and live as Clark and his troops lived — and they invite the public to interact with history. It’s really a way for the reenactors to share their knowledge and their love of history with visitors\, who can come and see history firsthand\,” Williams said. \nAbout Historic Locust Grove\nHistoric Locust Grove is located in Louisville\, Kentucky. Sitting high above the Ohio River the house was built in 1792 by William Croghan and his wife Lucy Clark Croghan. It was a bustling household that often became a gathering place for the other Clark siblings including both General George Rogers Clark and William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery and the many nieces and nephews of the large extended family. \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Locust Grove Revolutionary War Encampment at Historic Locust Grove in Riverwood\, Kentucky in April. \n \nTags: Locust Grove Revolutionary War Encampment\, Revolutionary War Encampment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/locust-grove-revolutionary-war-encampment/ LOCATION:Locust Grove\, 561 Blankenbaker Lane\, Riverwood\, KY\, 40207\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events,Musters and Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/18th-Century-Thunder-Spring-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Historic Locust Grove Inc":MAILTO:lghh@locustgrove.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190329T073000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190329T213000 DTSTAMP:20190317T171841Z 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.

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;VALUE=DATE:20190223 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190225 DTSTAMP:20181229T173941Z CREATED:20180214T151424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181229T173941Z UID:22663-1550880000-1551052799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Moores Creek Bridge Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Battle of Moores Creek Bridge Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin area residents to celebrate the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge Reenactment on February 23-24\, 2019 at the Moores Creek National Battlefield in Currie\, North Carolina.

Little did they know that nearly one thousand Patriots waited for them on the other side. In what would be the last broadsword charge by Scottish Highlanders\, The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge was a pivotal battle in the Revolutionary War. This first significant victory for the Patriots in the American Revolution ended the British threat to North Carolina until late in the Revolutionary War. Some historians claim it emboldened North Carolinians to pass the Halifax Resolves on April 1\, 1776\, urging the province’s delegates to the Continental Congress to seek independence from Great Britain. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Moores Creek Bridge Reenactment in February at the Moores Creek National Battlefield in Currie\, North Carolina. \nTags: Battle of Moores Creek Bridge Reenactment\, Moores Creek Bridge Battle Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-moores-creek-bridge-reenactment/ LOCATION:Moores Creek National Battlefield\, 40 Patriots Hall Drive\, Currie\, NC\, 28435\, 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/2018/02/Battle-of-Moores-Creek-Bridge-Reenactment-09-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Moores Creek National Battlefield":MAILTO:matthew_woods@nps.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190216 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190218 DTSTAMP:20190116T090802Z CREATED:20180201T020448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190116T090802Z UID:22042-1550275200-1550447999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Rebellion in Huntington Beach DESCRIPTION:2019 Rebellion in Huntington Beach\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the Rebellion in Huntington Beach on February 16-17\, 2019 at Huntington Central Park in Huntington Beach\, California.

In November 1775\, Washington sent a 25 year-old bookseller-turned-soldier\, Henry Knox\, to bring heavy artillery that had been captured at Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. Knox knew the challenge before him as he wrote to George Washington on December 5\, 1775. \nThe garrison at Ticonderoga is so weak\, the conveyance from the fort to the landing is so difficult\, the passage across the lake so precarious\, that I am afraid it will be ten days at least before I can get them on this side. When they are here\, the conveyance from hence will depend entirely on the sledding; if that is wood\, they shall immediately move forward; without sledding\, the roads are so much gullied that it will be impossible to move a step. \nIn a technically complex and demanding operation\, Knox began the “Noble Train” in January 1776 at Ticonderoga and carried sixty tons of artillery through the dead of winter to Boston in just forty days. In March 1776\, these artillery pieces were used to fortify Dorchester Heights\, overlooking Boston and its harbor and threatening the British naval supply lifeline. The British commander William Howe\, realizing he could no longer hold the town\, chose to evacuate it. He withdrew the British forces\, departing on March 17\, for Halifax\, Nova Scotia thus giving Washington his first great victory of the war. \nFort Ticonderoga is the location of the first Knox Trail marker in the Knox cannon trail that traces the route of the Noble Train. The Fort Ticonderoga Museum owns 2 original artillery pieces that made the epic journey in the winter of 1776. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Colonel Knox is Now at Ticonderoga at Fort Ticonderoga in December in Ticonderoga\, New York. \nTags: Colonel Knox is Now at Ticonderoga\, Henry Knox\, Noble Train Begins\, Fort Ticonderoga Noble Train\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \n[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events\nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/colonel-knox-is-now-at-ticonderoga/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/The-Noble-Train-Begins-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20181117T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20181118T160000 DTSTAMP:20180919T205134Z CREATED:20171029T155202Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180919T205134Z UID:19222-1542448800-1542556800@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Retreat Weekend at Fort Lee Historic Park DESCRIPTION:2018 Retreat Weekend at Fort Lee Historic Park\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at Retreat Weekend at Fort Lee Historic Park on November 7-18\, 2018 at Hudson Terrace in Fort Lee\, New Jersey.

The Corps performed at the Fort each summer until the beginning of World War II. When the World’s Fair came to New York City in 1939\, the Fife and Drum Corps was a featured performer on May 10th\, Fort Ticonderoga Day celebrating the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen\, Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys. \nIn 1973\, in preparation for the bicentennial\, Fort Ticonderoga revived the Fife and Drum Corps to perform daily during the museum campus’ summer season. The Fife and Drum Corps has performed every year since and has been featured performers at many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games\, the christening of the US Navy Guided Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47\, and several Evacuation Day parades in Boston\, Massachusetts. \n \nToday the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps is comprised of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga\, an independent not-for-profit educational organization.

Highlighted programming featured throughout the weekend brings to life the surprising American retreat and British capture of Fort Ticonderoga in early July 1777. Experience the fog of war and smoky haze of battle as the American and British armies maneuver across this historic landscape. This two-day battle re-enactment will dramatically show how General Arthur St. Clair decided to evacuate Ticonderoga set the stage for British General John Burgoyne. \nFort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence takes place Saturday and Sunday\, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Admission to this re-enactment event is included in a Fort Ticonderoga’s general admission ticket. \n \nA Defining Story Brought to Life: During the Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence reenactment\, visitors will witness the intensity of battle as American soldiers retreat back from their entrenched camp under the intense British drive to capture the fortifications. They will discover the diverse forces that comprised this campaign and meet with soldiers of the two armies including the Royal Artillery\, the Rear Guard\, and the Continental Artillery. \nThis living history event and battle recreation will re-enact a careful chess game between the British Army and an entrenched Continental Army at Ticonderoga. Reprieved from a siege in 1776 by the onset of winter\, Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence faced General John Burgoyne’s northern army of British\, Loyalist\, and German soldiers in July 1777. General St. Clair’s rearguard of Massachusetts and New Hampshire regulars and militia put up a vigorous defense\, skirmishing in the hills and valleys around Ticonderoga. Artillery batteries built into the old French Lines seemed to keep the British army at by. Concealed by forest cover on the back slope of Mount Defiance\, British cannon were dragged to the summit. By July 6\, 1777\, British cannon high up on Mount Defiance\, aimed at the pontoon bridge between the two Forts of Ticonderoga and Independence\, forced the withdrawal of General St. Clair’s rearguard into the Hampshire Grants (Vermont). \n \nWhere a Goat Can Go\, A Man Can Go! Saturday evening at 6:30 pm a gun crew from the Royal Artillery will haul their cannon to the summit of Mount Defiance\, aiming at the Fort located below. Guests can witness the incredible feat and discover the details of this decisive stroke and witness a cannon demonstration in the evening light of the beautiful summit. Advanced tickets are required for this event and must be purchased at Fort Ticonderoga or call 518-585-2821. \nOther Fort Ticonderoga Living History Demonstrations & Reenactments Fort Ticonderoga offers more than one hundred exciting and unique events and programs each season.

The reenactment takes place on the weekend in January that is closest to the original date of January 15-16\, 1781. \nOn the March we relive Morgan’s activities during the two-day race with the enemy while also planning how to use his soldiers to win a great victory at a place called the Cowpens. Hikers and bikers (non-motorized) may go the entire route or choose only the segments that interest them. Horseback riders are welcome to participate as horses add to the excitement along the route. Reenactors and historians will describe what was happening at that time over 200 years ago as the militia units were mustering and moving to help Morgan’s Continentals defend their homeland against British invaders. \nTwo Day March: The first leg of the march is about 13 and one half miles. The Sunday portion\, ending at the Cowpens National Battlefield\, is about 11 and one half miles. \nRegistration is required: Marchers should pre-register with the Town of Pacolet (864-474-950) or email eharris@townofpacolet.com. Marchers will be asked to sign a waiver of liability for the sponsors and landowners located along the route. There is no charge for marcher but donations will be accepted. \nTransportation: It is not necessary that you walk the entire distance. There will be horse drawn wagons and carriages for those that prefer not to walk. \nMarchers should wear warm clothes suitable for the weather and bring their own snacks. The marchers will see the beautiful country from Grindal Shoals to Cowpens National Battlefield. The Morgans Victory March is a great way to get an idea how the weather\, natural conditions\, and distance helped shape how the Victory of Cowpens turned out! \nOn this weekend tour\, we will march along the same route at about the same pace that Morgan used as he moved his army on January 15th and 16th in 1781. This year the National Battlefield will award a “Morgan’s Flying Army” medal to first-time marchers that complete the entire route! \nDuring Morgans Victory March\, reenactors and historians will describe what was happening in 1781 as the militia units were mustering and moving to help Morgan’ Continentals defend their homeland against the British invaders. \nStarting Location Grindal Shoals\, South Carolina https://goo.gl/maps/QDua9NhqQ6C2 Geo Coordinates: 34°53’18.5″N 81°38’35.4″W\, \nMorgan and Grindal Shoals Until just the morning before Tarleton crossed at Easterwood\, General Morgan and his little army had been camped at Grindal Shoals\, just 5 miles downstream from Easterwood and about 7 miles from the Pacolet Mills bridge. Morgan and his army had arrived at Grindal Shoals on Christmas Day\, about three weeks before. On the night of Jan. 14\, Morgan had received word that Tarleton and his army were coming after him. The next morning\, on Jan. 15\, Morgan had started his army on the march in an effort to get away from the British. His army marched up the Green River Road. Today\, some of that road is known as the Asbury Highway or Hwy 211. His army entered the Asbury Highway portion just beside where Wagstop Plantation is located today. After a few miles\, they turned right on the part of the Green River Road that is known today as “Goucher School Road”. This is just before where Knuckles Chapel Church is located today. \nJust one day behind them\, the British army marched up the Quarter Round Road until they too came into the Green River Road at an intersection near to the present location of Knuckles Chapel. Now\, both armies were on the same road to their deadly meeting at Cowpens. \nEnding Location Cowpens National Battlefield 338 New Pleasant Road Gaffney\, SC 29341 (864) 461-2828 \nThe Battle of Cowpens was a very important American victory against overwhelming odds. The Battleground is about 9 miles northwest of Cowpens. The American General Daniel Morgan did all he could do to get away from the British army under Tarleton. As we have seen at Easterwood and Grindal Shoals\, the British army was just moving too fast for Morgan to get away. Morgan realized that Tarleton was going to catch him. He decided to stop and fight him at a place of his own choosing rather than to let Tarleton catch his army as it was crossing the Broad River only five miles away. \nMorgan planned a brilliant strategy for the battle that is still studied in Military Schools to this day. The battle was fought in the early morning on January 17\, 1781 and barely lasted an hour. It was a complete Patriot victory over the British army. The Patriot forces under General Morgan crushed and destroyed the British army. It contributed to the British surrender at Yorktown\, Virginia ten months later. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Morgans Victory March Reenactment and be part of “Morgans’ Flying Army!” \nTags: Morgans Victory March Reenactment\, Morgans Victory March\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/morgans-victory-march-reenactment/ LOCATION:Grindal Shoals\, SC\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Morgans-Victory-March-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society":MAILTO:864-489-3988 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170923 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170925 DTSTAMP:20180727T173212Z CREATED:20170921T180810Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180727T173212Z UID:12727-1506124800-1506297599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Camp Edwards Open House DESCRIPTION:2017 Camp Edwards Open House\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us at the 2017 Camp Edwards Open House on September 23-24 2017 at the Camp Edwards MAANG Training Area in Camp Edwards\, Massachusetts.\nThis year’s Camp Edwards Open House continues the tradition\, and celebrates the 26th Yankee Division’s 100 Year Anniversary.

On the morning of September 18\, the forces converged on Ticonderoga. Over the next few days Colonel John Brown’s force captured the British blockhouse at the top of Mount Defiance\, secured the release of 118 American prisoners and captured nearly 300 British soldiers. \nBrown’s men also burned several of the Fort’s outbuildings and destroyed about 150 batteaux. However the American forces soon realized that without reinforcements and additional supplies\, a direct attack on the Fort would not succeed\, and on September 22 Colonel Brown’s force called off the attack. Less than a month later\, the British army surrendered at Saratoga. \nIn early November\, cut off\, short of food\, and the weather getting colder the British-held posts of Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence made the hard decision to withdraw back to Canada. \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/german-british-soldiers-leave-fort-ticonderoga/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/fort-ticonderoga-germans-and-british-leave-reenactment01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20160705T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20160705T170000 DTSTAMP:20160404T001149Z CREATED:20160404T000009Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160404T001149Z UID:3870-1467705600-1467738000@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:1777 Fall of Fort Ticonderoga Tour DESCRIPTION:By land and by lake\, walk in the footsteps of General Arthur St. Clair’s evacuation of Ticonderoga.
