If you’re suffering from cabin fever and are up for a challenge\, come to the St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon and match your black powder shooting and snowshoeing skills against some of the toughest competitors in the North East – or – take it a little slower as a woods walk. \nParticipants are encouraged to wear historic clothes covering 1750 to 1812. Fort de la Présentation was one of a handful of French colonial forts in New York State. Forsyth’s Rifles from Ogdensburg re-enacts a U.S. Army regiment posted in Northern New York during the War of 1812; from the French and Indian War period\, they portray a unit of French marines. \nThose hardy souls participating in the Snowshoe Biathlon will run a one and a half mile course\, stopping at each of 5 stations and firing 2 shots; at the 6th and final station\, there’s an optional tomahawk throw. Runners or woods walkers using a traditional muzzleloader will complete the course on traditional wood-framed snowshoes. \nThree Divisions: Primitive Rifle\, Primitive Smoothbore and Modern In-Line. Competitors in the primitive divisions must run the course on traditional\, wooden snowshoes\, while in-line shooters have the option of using wooden or modern snowshoes. Snowshoes must be carried if there is light snow cover. \nThe St. Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is modeled after the popular Smugglers’ Notch Primitive Biathlon and is one of several biathlons scheduled across New York and New England each year. \nA modern class will be open to shooters using in-line muzzleloaders and modern snowshoes. All shooters must use firearms with open sights. \nThe St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is sponsored by the Fort La Présentation Association and Forsyth’s Rifles. \nHours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM. \nLocation\nSt Lawrence Valley Sportsman’s Club\n25 Sportsman’s Club Road\nOgdensburg\, NY 13669 \nFor More Information: Fred Hanss\, Chairman: Email fhanss@twcny.rr.com \nWhat is a Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon?\nPrimitive Snowshoe Biathlons\, unlike modern snowshoe biathlons with olympic-style target rifles and cross-country skis\, involve the use of muzzleloading rifles and snowshoes. Eligibility for overall prizes is limited to single-barrel traditional style muzzleloaders – no in-lines or optical sights – and traditional wood-framed snowshoes\, although modern equipment users are welcome to participate in separate competition classes. In the primitive spirit of the event\, and in the interest of fairness\, the use of round-ball ammunition is requested. Period dress is definitely encouraged\, though not required. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon the first weekend in March in Ogdensburg\, New York. \nTags: St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon\, Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon \nView other Primitive Snowshoe Biathlons & Related Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/st-lawrence-valley-primitive-snowshoe-biathlon/ LOCATION:St Lawrence Valley Sportsmens Club\, 25 Sports Club Road\, Ogdensburg\, NY\, 13669\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Primitive Snowshoe Biathlons,Same week in month,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/St-Lawrence-Valley-Primitive-Snowshoe-Biathlon-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort La Presentation Association":MAILTO:barbokeefe3@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200314 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200316 DTSTAMP:20260408T125058 CREATED:20170218T191728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200114T223634Z UID:11928-1584144000-1584316799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2020 Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCommemorate the 238th Anniversary Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment on March 14-15\, 2020 at Greensboro Country Park in Greensboro\, North Carolina.

Major General Nathanael Greene\, defending the ground at Guilford Courthouse with an army of almost 4\,500 American militia and Continentals\, was tactically defeated by a smaller British army of about 1\,900 veteran regulars and German allies commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After 2-1/2 hours of intense and often brutal fighting\, Cornwallis forced his opponent to withdraw from the field. Greene’s retreat preserved the strength of his army\, but Cornwallis’s frail victory was won at the cost of over 25% of his army. \nGuilford Courthouse proved to be the highwater mark of British military operations in the Revolutionary War. Weakened in his campaign against Greene\, Cornwallis abandoned the Carolinas hoping for success in Virginia. At Yorktown\, seven months after his victory at Guilford Courthouse\, Lord Cornwallis would surrender to the combined American and French forces under General George Washington. \nFor More Information: \nGuilford Battleground Company patriots@guilfordbattlegroundcompany.org\nReenactor Information: carlivar@yahoo.com \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment in Greensboro\, North Carolina. \n \nTags: Battle of Guilford Courthouse Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment\, Guilford Courthouse Battle Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-guilford-courthouse-reenactment/ LOCATION:Greensboro Country Park\, 3905 Nathanael Green Drive\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27455\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Battle-of-Guilford-Courthouse-Reenactment-07-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Guilford Battleground Company":MAILTO:patriots@guilfordbattlegroundcompany.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200314 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200316 DTSTAMP:20260408T125058 CREATED:20170127T120040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190403T112624Z UID:10974-1584144000-1584316799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:New Ulm Trade Fair and Living History Event DESCRIPTION:2020 New Ulm Trade Fair and Living History Event\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 39th Annual New Ulm Trade Fair and Living History Event on March 14-15\, 2020 at the Turner Hall in New Ulm\, Minnesota.

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-2017-08-19-2020-03-21/ 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;VALUE=DATE:20200328 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200330 DTSTAMP:20260408T125058 CREATED:20170103T174538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190410T020656Z UID:10137-1585353600-1585526399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Goliad Massacre Reenactment and Living History Program DESCRIPTION:2020 Goliad Massacre Reenactment and Living History Program\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 35th Annual Goliad Massacre Reenactment and Living History Program on March 28-29\, 2019 at Presidio La Bahia in Goliad\, Texas where Reenactors and Living Historians from across Texas gather to recreate the final days of Colonel Fannin’s command.
