After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-09-16/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180915T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180916T160000 DTSTAMP:20260420T081128 CREATED:20170214T112937Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180727T182245Z UID:11836-1537005600-1537113600@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2018 Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment\n\nRate This\nEvent\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nExperience living history at the Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment on September 15-16\, 2018 at Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach\, North Carolina.

The military units we represent are the 1st North Carolina Volunteers (the Bethel Regiment) and the 11th North Carolina Regiment. This allows flexibility to adapt to any reenactment period and still remain historically correct. 1st NC Volunteers often coordinate their efforts with state and national historic sites and events\, such as the Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment. \nAbout The Battle of Fort Macon in 1862\nThe Siege of Fort Macon took place from March 23 to April 26\, 1862\, on the Outer Banks of Carteret County\, North Carolina. It was part of Union Army General Ambrose E. Burnside’s North Carolina Expedition during the American Civil War.\nIn late March\, Major General Burnside’s army advanced on Fort Macon\, a fort that commanded the channel to Beaufort\, 35 miles southeast of New Bern. The Union force engaged the fort with siege works and on April 25 opened an accurate fire on the fort\, soon breaching the masonry walls. Within a few hours the fort’s scarp began to collapse\, and in late afternoon the Confederate commander\, Colonel Moses J. White\, ordered the raising of a white flag. Burnside’s terms of surrender were accepted\, and the Federal troops took possession of the fort the next morning. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment in Atlantic Beach\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fall-fort-macon-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Macon State Park\, 2303 East Fort Macon Road\, Atlantic Beach\, NC\, 28512\, United States CATEGORIES:American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Macon-Civil-War-Reenactment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="1st NC Volunteers":MAILTO:LGordon3@nc.rr.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180929 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181001 DTSTAMP:20260420T081128 CREATED:20180913T225421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180917T234106Z UID:27851-1538179200-1538351999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Return To Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend DESCRIPTION:2018 Return to Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the Return To Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend on September 29-30\, 2018 at The Fort at No. 4 in Charlestown\, New Hampshire.

Join the groups gathered around a blacksmith as he carefully forges iron together into what will become an item of common use in 18th century Colonial America. As he works\, he takes questions from his audience at the Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough weekend. \nSee and learn about an ancient craft kept alive even to this day! During the preceding week\, blacksmiths will be here once again doing another Charcoal Burn: a week-long 24/7 project. If you have any interest in Blacksmithing\, particularly as it was in the 18th century\, we invite you to come to the Fort during Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough. If you would like to volunteer to assist in the Charcoal Burn\, email ftboone@bellsouth.net. Merchants and Traders are welcome to display and sell items used during the Colonial era. This event is free to the public with regular paid admission to the fort. \nBlacksmiths will share decades of experience in forging iron\, displaying their skills in front of the crowds\, taking questions as they work. In many cases\, much of that experience has come at events such as Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, and many return to the fort each year to take part. Learn about the tools a blacksmith uses to forge items\, like the anvil. Although the anvil\, like many of the Blacksmiths tools look simple\, they are not\, having been refined through thousands of years of experience to the most useful shape. \nLearn about the heat of the fire needed to make the iron workable\, about working the iron while it is the proper color and how the experienced blacksmith holds and strike the metal to get the best effect\, and how the first 15 seconds are when Blacksmiths can do the most work on a piece. Learn the importance of the Blacksmiths “time management.” \nBlacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, like other events at the fort\, are sponsored by The Fort Boonesborough Foundation. The Foundation is made up of a group of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to sustain\, foster\, and promote quality programming at Fort Boonesborough State Park and Boone’s Station Historic Site. \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 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. \nLocation\nFort Boonesborough State Park\n4375 Boonesborough Rd.\nRichmond\, Ky. 40475 \nFor more information about Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, contact Phone 859-527-3131 ext 216 or email alec.forman@gmail.com or ahenry@wittenberg.edu. \nMark your calendar so you don’t miss the next Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough in Richmond\, KY. \nTags: Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend\, Kentucky Blacksmith Weekend\, Kentucky Blacksmith Event \nView other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/blacksmiths-weekend-at-fort-boonesborough/ LOCATION:Fort Boonesborough State Park\, 4375 Boonesborough Road\, Richmond\, KY\, 40475\, United States CATEGORIES:Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Touched-b-the-Fire-Blacksmiths-Weekend-fort-boonesboro-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Fort Boonesborough Foundation":MAILTO:bill.farmer@ky.gov END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
