The reenactment depicts an encounter that occurred on March 5\, 1865 when 500 federal soldiers\, under the command of Colonel Reuben Williams of the 12th Indiana Infantry\, marched into the Florence area to destroy the railroad depot. These federal troops were met by a group of Confederate soldiers who drove them away with the help of 400 reinforcements from the area home guard. \n\nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment\nBounty for Union SoldiersIn an effort to get more Federal soldiers\, we’re offering a $200 bounty for any group that can put 20 rifles on the field both days. The bounty is good for up to 3 groups. Out of state units will get preference. We still have the bounty for artillery\, see Garfield for that. And the bounty for cavalry. I think Petra is keeping up with that. \nThe Columns is a popular name for The Harwell House at Rankin Plantation\, a beautiful antebellum home that dates back over 100 years. The name refers to the 22 Greek style\, Doric columns that surround the home on three sides. The house was placed on the National Register of historic places in 1974. \nProceeds from Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment go towards historical preservation such as the 23rd History Scholarship\, the Florence Museum of Art\, Science and History\, the SC Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum at the SC State Museum\, and other worthy projects. \nAdmission$10.00 Adults$5.00 Students under 18FREE: Children under 12These funds will go directly to historic preservation or our scholarship at Francis Marion University. \nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n \nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment Schedule (tentative)Thursday12:00 am Registration & Gates Open For Sutlers & ReenactorsFriday8:00 am Registration & Gates Open For Sutlers & Reenactors8:30 am Demonstrations For Area Students3:00 pm Demonstrations Conclude9:00 pm Officers Meeting\, The Commander’s Quarters9:00 pm All Vehicles To Be Out Of CampLate arrivals may unload and then move their vehicles to parking.Saturday7:00 am Reveille8:30 am Morning Parade9:00 am Camps Open To The Public9:15 am Company Drill\, Scenario Review9:30 am Battalion Drill2:00 pm Skirmish At Gambles Hotel3:00 pm Troops To Pass In Review5:00 pm Camp Closed To Public8:00 pm Barn Dance\, 1860’s Period Dress Please11:00 pm Tattoo & TapsSunday7:00 am Reveille8:30 am Morning Parade9:00 am Camps Open To The Public10:45 am Soldiers Chorus Rehearsal\, Barn11:00 am Church Service\, Barn1:30 pm Skirmish For Reenactors2:00 pm Skirmish At Gambles HotelThe event is over with the dismissal of troops after the end of the battle on Sunday. Spectators are requested to make their way out without dallying too long. Reenactors may bring their vehicles in to load out. Please be extra watchful and careful as many people are still moving about the camps \nSchool DayWe will have historically correct presentations depicting camp life of the soldiers\, infantry and artillery drill\, cooking demonstrations\, a blacksmith and a civilian homestead. \nOur education program for The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment for school children is by invitation only. It’s not hard to get one\, but you must contact Petra Darby at 803-518-1921 or by email at petradarby[@]yahoo.com (without the brackets). And please note. To offset the cost of insurance\, we’re asking 5.00 per child that attends. \nDirections to The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel ReenactmentTo program your GPS\, use 4789 East Old Marion Hwy\, Florence\, SC 29502 for a street address. \nThe event site is located near the intersection of Interstates 95 and 20\, about 25 miles below the NC state line. That makes it easy from just about everywhere. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Reenactor Information”]For The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment\, all usual amenities will be provided: water in the camp\, blue rooms at strategic locations\, plenty of hay in the barn\, and more firewood then you’ll be able to burn in a cold weekend! We have a barn dance on Saturday that has become renown. As it has always been\, there is no registration fee for reenactors. There will be about 20 sutlers there to get any gear you need. The city of Florence is only a few miles away and is large enough to accommodate any needs you may have. You may arrive as early as Thursday morning\, but be aware that we will have 1500 school children on Friday for the education program. \nEvery year we try to come up with something a bit different. If you attended the battle last year\, there’s a good chance you’ll see and do something different this year. \nDo you like to campaign? Get away from the hustle and bustle that goes on near the sutlers? Give me a shout. We’ve got no shortage of remote areas that would give the most hard core unit what they’re looking for. \nUnionists\, or good fellows who will wear a blue jacket – It’s only a six hour ride from the Mason Dixon line. We usually galvanize amongst ourselves\, but what a great opportunity for a federal unit to be spoiled at a fine event. Did you know it could be 80 degrees and sunny while a blizzard is blowing back home? Well\, it could! If you attended The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment just for a drill weekend\, you would surely mark it on your calendar for the following year. Contact Tom Grazioli at tom[@]associatedcomputer.cc (without the brackets) or call 843-455-2989 for more information. You can also check our bulletin board. \nArtillery – A bounty is being offered to guns that have been invited to The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment. Unfortunately we can’t give a stipen to every battery that might want to come. The money just isn’t there. We normally accommodate 10 guns. Contact John Nolan at johnnyrebsn2002[@]yahoo.com (without the brackets) for more information. \nCavalry – All horses\, donkeys\, and mules must have a current Coggins certificate. The farm works cattle across all the property that we use. When you arrive on site and register for the event\, you will have to show your certificate at that time. Do not bring an animal that does not have a current certificate. If you do\, you will be required to immediately remove the animal from the property. \nA bounty will be paid for each mounted trooper that participates. It’s $10.00 each day for each mount\, and $15 more if you do school day. It’s not a lot\, but we hope to cover the cost of your hay for the weekend. Collect your bounty at the mercantile after church on Sunday. \nThe Ball – Held on Saturday night in the top of the hay barn. The Crescent Moon Rounders will likely provide the music. And we keep a close eye on the hay lest we loose one of our men like the proverbial needle. Why they keep getting lost in there is a mystery to me\, but surely not to the fathers of the young ladies at the dance! \nOfficers Call – This will take place at 9:00 pm on Friday at the tent of Colonel Bruce Blackmon of the Palmetto Battalion. Make sure a representative of your unit attends to get more information and assignments as they will be determined at this meeting.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion][su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Spectator Information”]There is more than just the battle. The military and refugee camps are open and people are encouraged to visit and speak to the reenactors. The first person impressions are supposed to give you the experience of speaking to a person of that time and place. There is a cabin that would have been correct for field hands. You can expect cooking demonstrations. Sometimes we have candle makers and quilters demonstrating their skills. There’s always a blacksmith or two banging away at an anvil. \nThere are period merchants called “sutlers” that sell wares that would have been available at the time. There is also a varied selection of modern vendors selling food\, drinks and historically related items. \nThe house is usually open for tours. Those are conducted by the property owner separately from the event. Check at the gate as you arrive to see if any are planned.Be prepared to walk. The camps are about 100 yards from the battlefield. We do have handicapped parking close to the battlefield for those that require it. It doesn’t hurt to bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. We have an area in front designated just for people to sit. \nWhat time should you come in? The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment battle is at 2:00 in the afternoon. Skirmishing will begin even earlier. If I were you\, I’d get my lunch and take it down at 1:00 where I could get a good seat and eat while waiting. You will want to get to the site even earlier than that. Sometimes the line of cars will backup at the entrance. Come down at 11:00. Walk the camps and sutler row at your leisure. Get your lunch and mosey to the battlefield. It’s a pleasant way to spend a few hours and you might be surprised at what you’ll learn.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion]VendorsVendors and sutlers are by invitation only. We make an effort to limit the type of vendor so that there are not too many of any one kind. The fee for sutlers is $75. For modern vendors it’s $100. \nWe do not allow anything that is offensive or distasteful to be sold at your table or in your tent. We reserve the right to define what may be offensive or distasteful. If we find something objectionable\, you may be asked to remove it\, or you may be asked to leave the premises. \nWe set up the modern vendors closer to the house. Sutlers set up on one line facing the barn. Parking is really close\, less than a hundred yards from the most distant tent. There is adequate room for a camper to be set up\, but not enough to have a pavilion. There are no hookups. Generators are OK if they don’t bother anyone. If you prefer to stay in a hotel\, there is one at the 327 exit on 95\, just 7 or 8 miles away. And there are several more in Florence from 10 to 20 miles away. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment in March in Florence\, South Carolina. \nTags: Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment\, Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Living History \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/skirmish-at-gambles-hotel-reenactment/ LOCATION:Rankin Plantation\, 4789 East Old Marion Hwy\, Florence\, SC\, 29502\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Skirmish-At-Gambles-Hotel-Reenactment-01-850x567-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="23rd SC Infantry Civil War Reenactors":MAILTO:mikeking@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190309T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190309T160000 DTSTAMP:20260405T165314 CREATED:20160924T220211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190125T170241Z UID:8467-1552125600-1552147200@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the exciting Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment and living history event at Fort Ticonderoga on March 9\, 2019\, from 10 am – 4 pm.

This event is designed to be a rich experience for both participants and visitors. \nMajor Robert Rogers force of both volunteers from the 27th foot\, and his own rangers headed out on an extended scout from Fort Edward along Lake George\, following an attack on a similar patrol from Captain Israel Putnam’s Connecticut rangers. Hiking on snowshoes due to the three feet of snow\, the tracks of Roger’s force were spotted on its march up the west side of Lake George. Near the north end of Lake George\, Major Rogers’ advanced scouts spotted their French counterparts. Rogers and his Rangers took up positions in a ravine\, setting his force in ambuscade to await whatever French patrol would come to meet him. \nThe French patrol that met Roger’s men proved far larger than he imagined\, and in this Battle on Snowshoes\, the rangers’ ambush was itself surrounded and overwhelmed. In deep woods on deep snow\, the rangers were forced to retreat with heavy casualties as the French regulars\, malice\, and natives pressed home their attack. Despite brave stands along the way\, this retreat quickly became chaotic as rangers\, Roger’s included\, ran for their lives from superior numbers of French. \nThere was not just one\, but three Battles On Snowshoes.Every other year at Fort Ticonderoga\, visitors can witness the re-enactment of a savage battle fought between the British Rangers and French soldiers on March 13\, 1758\, as described above. \n \nHowever\, a prelude to this battle occurred near Fort Carillon (now Fort Ticonderoga) on January 21\, 1757. Similar circumstances were evident\, in which Rogers’ Rangers were ambushed by a mixed troop of French regulars\, Canadian militiamen\, and Indians during a scouting expedition. Although the British had a distinct advantage due to their snowshoes\, they were largely outnumbered\, suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat under the cover of darkness. \nThe third and final Battle on Snowshoes occurred on March 7\, 1759 directly across from Fort Carillon\, beginning with a skirmish line composed of Rogers’ Rangers and a number of Iroquois allies. They successfully ambush a French wood-cutting detail on the eastern shore and take five prisoners. This marked the close of Rogers’ overall expedition to make observations of the French defenses on the Carillon peninsula\, and to seize prisoners for information that would assist in General Amherst’s attack later that year. \nMark your calendar today for the Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment in January so you don’t miss this exciting French & Indian War event! \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment\, Fort Ticonderoga Living History\, Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment \nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-battle-on-snowshoes-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:Battle Reenactments & Encampments,French & Indian War Reenactment,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Fort-Ticonderoga-Battle-on-Snowshoes-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190316 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190318 DTSTAMP:20260405T165314 CREATED:20170110T223307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181104T175350Z UID:10323-1552694400-1552867199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Kalamazoo Living History Show DESCRIPTION:2019 Kalamazoo Living History Show\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDon’t miss the 44th Annual Kalamazoo Living History Show on March 16-17\, 2019 at the Kalamazoo County Fair Grounds in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

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 at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-08-19-2019-03-16/ 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-03-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190316T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190317T160000 DTSTAMP:20260405T165314 CREATED:20170212T150403Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190105T145953Z UID:11744-1552726800-1552838400@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Cooper Days DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Cooper Days Seminole War Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the Fort Cooper Days Seminole War Reenactment on March 16-17\, 2019 at Fort Cooper State Park in Inverness\, Florida.

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:20190328 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190331 DTSTAMP:20260405T165315 CREATED:20190130T143947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190130T145558Z UID:33800-1553731200-1553990399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Yargo 18th Century Colonial Market Faire DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Yargo 18th Century Colonial Market Faire\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 10th Annual Fort Yargo 18th Century Colonial Market Faire on March 28-30\, 2019 at Fort Yargo State Park in Windor\, Georgia.
