Construction began in late 1755 and was completed one year later. It served as the military headquarters for the frontier company (approximately fifty men) as well as a safe-haven for settlers. The fort was attacked on the night of February 27\, 1760 when more than 70 Cherokees were repelled. The garrison suffered two men wounded\, as well as having one colonial boy killed. The Cherokee were reported to have lost 10-12 men killed and wounded. By the end of 1761\, the British had essentially won the war and only thirty troops remained at the fort. Colonial leaders disbanded the troops and removed all the supplies of the garrison as settlement moved far west of the fort. The neglected fort was in ruins by 1766. \nReconstruction of Fort Dobbs\nSoon after protecting the site of Fort Dobbs in 1909\, the Daughters of the American Revolution recognized the need to reconstruct the blockhouse. Following initial archaeological investigations in the 1960’s and ’70’s the site became a State Historic Site\, but with several key questions about the original structure still unanswered\, no immediate reconstruction effort was planned.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nIn 2003\, the reincorporated non-profit Friends of Fort Dobbs took up the vision of then-site manager Beth Hill to begin an effort to rebuild. More than a decade of hard work ensued. The Friends undertook a fundraising campaign to fund the effort and co-operated with State officials\, historians\, historic building specialists\, architects\, and noted archaeologist Dr. Larry Babits to develop feasible\, historically sound plans and the capital needed to make Fort Dobbs stand on the banks of Fourth Creek once again. \nFollowing several other facility improvements to the site\, ground was broken for the new fort in August of 2016. A mix of modern and 18th Century construction techniques have been employed to meet the challenge of building a structure that must simultaneously meet modern building standards while also approximating an entirely hand-build piece of military engineering from 260 years ago. We hope\, with your support\, to have Fort Dobbs open as a living history exhibit on a grand scale by early 2019![/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment on February 24-25\, 2018 at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment\, Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary\, Cherokee Attack Anniversary\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other War of 1812 Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-dobbs-cherokee-attack-anniversary-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Dobbs State Historic Site\, 438 Fort Dobbs Road\, Statesville\, NC\, 28625\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fort-Dobbs-Cherokee-Attack-Anniversary-Reenactment-10-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Dobbs":MAILTO:info@fortdobbs.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
