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.

As the army arrived in central Florida on Christmas Day\, 1837\, the stockade was aptly christened Fort Christmas. Fort Christmas is a typical Seminole Indian War fort\, made of tall pine pickets. The fort is 80 linear square feet\, with two block houses that are 20 square feet each\, with a storehouse and a powder magazine within the walls of the fort. The replica of Fort Christmas serves as a museum with exhibits focusing on the Second Seminole War and pioneer life in Florida. Today\, the replica fort and museum is the centerpiece of Fort Christmas Historical Park. \n \nIn addition to the park’s full scale replica of the 19th century fort\, seven restored cracker era buildings are open for tours. These pioneer homes and a school building are furnished with period furniture\, appliances\, kitchen items and hand tools. A few of these Florida cracker homes included the Beehead Ranch house\, the Taylor Creek Yates home\, and the 1916 Union Schoolhouse. This family friendly event is extremely popular\, one of Central Florida’s most interesting traditional gatherings. The Cracker houses on display belonged to families with familiar names from Florida’s pioneer days\, such as Simmons\, Wheeler\, Bass\, and Yates. \nLocation\nFort Christmas Historical Park\n1300 North Fort Christmas Road\nChristmas\, FL 32709\n407-254-9312 \nFor More Information: Call 407-254-9312 or Email Trudy.Trask@ocfl.net \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Christmas Fall Militia Encampment on the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Fort Christmas Historical Park in Christmas\, Florida. \nTags:Fort Christmas Fall Militia Encampment\, Fort Christmas Spring Militia Encampment\, Fort Christmas Militia Encampment\, Fort Christmas Militia Reenactment\, Fort Christmas Historical Park\, Fort Christmas \nView other History Festivals & Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-christmas-fall-militia-encampment/ LOCATION:Fort Christmas Historical Park\, 1300 North Fort Christmas Road\, Christmas\, FL\, 32709\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Florida Seminole Wars,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Fort-Christmas-Fall-Militia-Encampment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Christmas Historical Society":MAILTO:Trudy.Trask@ocfl.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190928 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190930 DTSTAMP:20260421T041043 CREATED:20160611T023257Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190204T202112Z UID:5262-1569628800-1569801599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 – 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment on September 28-29\, 2019 at Fort Boonesborough State Park in Richmond\, Kentucky.

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 END:VCALENDAR
