Fort Frederick was built in 1756 to defend the frontier against French and Indian raiding parties coming east from the French Fort Duquesne\, in what is now Pittsburgh. Fort Frederick is unique because of its strong stone wall\, large size\, and roomy barracks. Fort Frederick also saw service during the American Revolution as a prison for British soldiers. \nFor the next 131 years\, the fort and surrounding lands were farmed. During the Civil War\, Union troops were often stationed near the fort to guard the C & O Canal. In 1922\, the State of Maryland acquired the fort. During the Great Depression of the 1930s\, a company of the Civilian Conservation Corps restored the fort and began development of the state park. In 1975\, the park reconstructed two soldier’s barracks inside the fort. These barracks are open seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day and on the weekends in the spring and fall. During those times\, staff and volunteers dressed in 18th century clothing occupy the fort\, demonstrating daily life in the 18th century. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Frederick French and Indian War Muster at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland. \nTags: Fort Frederick French and Indian War Muster\, French & Indian War Muster\, Fort Frederick French & Indian War Muster\, French and Indian War Muster \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-frederick-french-and-indian-war-muster/ LOCATION:Fort Frederick State Park\, 11100 Fort Frederick Road\, Big Pool\, MD\, 21711\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,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/2017/03/Fort-Frederick-French-and-Indian-War-Muster-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Frederick":MAILTO:info@friendsoffortfrederick.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190831 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190902 DTSTAMP:20260421T021208 CREATED:20190106T215424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190323T202800Z UID:31817-1567209600-1567382399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Old Fort Niagara War of 1812 Encampment DESCRIPTION:2019 Old Fort Niagara War of 1812 Encampment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience early American history at the Old Fort Niagara War of 1812 Encampment on August 31 – September 1\, 2019 at at Fort Niagara State Park in Youngstown\, New York.
