The mission of Fort Washita was to maintain peace for the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations within their new lands\, pursuant to treaty obligations. There were many outside threats to the new home of the Chickasaw people\, including attacks by Republic of Texas militia\, interference by unscrupulous intruders\, constant raids by Plains tribes\, the presence of traders and trappers\, and unsettled scores with some of the Plains tribes due to disputes concerning hunting grounds in the Homeland. Fort Washita operated as a United States military post until the start of the Civil War in 1861. It was then occupied by Confederate forces through 1865. The fort was almost entirely destroyed by the Confederates as they fled at the end of the Civil War. \nLearn MoreAfter the war\, the fort was granted to the Chickasaw Nation and later the Dawes Commission allotted the fort and surrounding land to the Charles and Abbie Davis Colbert family. \nThe Oklahoma Historical Society acquired Fort Washita in 1962 and restored it as a historic site and museum. In 2016\, the Chickasaw Nation partnered with the Oklahoma Historical Society to assume responsibility and management of Fort Washita. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designed as a National Historic Landmark. \nVisitors to Fort Washita can tour restored structures\, witness Civil War reenactments and take part in the yearly Fur Trade Era Rendezvous to experience what life was like before and during the Civil War. Other events throughout the year include storytelling\, outdoor movies and special seasonal and holiday events that the whole family can enjoy.\n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fur Trade Rendezvous at Fort Washita at Fort Wichita in Durant\, Oklahoma. \nTags: Fur Trade Rendezvous at Fort Washita\, Fort Washita Fur Trade Rendezvous\, Oklahoma Mountain Man Rendezvous\, Oklahoma Rendezvous \nView Oklahoma Mountain Man Rendezvous\, Encampments & Related Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fur-trade-rendezvous-at-fort-washita/ LOCATION:Fort Washita\, 3348 State Rd. 199\, Durant\, OK\, 74701\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Oklahoma Rendezvous,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Fur-Trade-Rendezvous-a-Fort-Washita-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200418 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200420 DTSTAMP:20260406T060800 CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190521T175028Z UID:23640-1587168000-1587340799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, Florida.

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-2017-08-19-2020-04-18/ 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:20200419T033000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20200419T083000 DTSTAMP:20260406T060800 CREATED:20170411T171740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200310T145017Z UID:14028-1587267000-1587285000@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Sudbury March to Concord DESCRIPTION:2020 Sudbury March to Concord – Patriot’s Day\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin the Sudbury March to Concord on April 19\, 2020\, Patriots’ Day beginning at the First Parish Church in Wayland.

The trail was significant in 1775 when it was used by Captain Isaac Davis and the Acton Minutemen to march on Concord during the battles of Lexington and Concord. The trail was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. \nThe Isaac Davis Trail March begins at Isaac Davis’ house (which still stands) in Acton\, and ends at western end of the North Bridge in the Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord. Most of the route is now paved roads\, where in some cases the alignment no longer matches the exact route. Despite this\, the trail route evokes the time of the march\, with its roadways lined with stone walls\, and houses generally set back from the street. \nHistory of the Isaac Davis Trail March\nIn the early dawn hours of April 19th\, 1775\, an alarm rider galloped his way throughout the town of Acton\, warning of the British advance out of Boston. The objective of the march was Concord\, where the British General\, Thomas Gage\, had heard there were stores of weapons\, ammunition\, and supplies for a protracted military campaign. As such\, when the alarm came to Captain Isaac Davis\, the leader of the Acton Minute Company\, he sounded the alarm shots to rally his men to come to his house and prepare to head off for Concord\, a journey of about 7 miles. \nDavis had said that when 30 men had arrived at his house\, he would depart for Concord. As his men arrived\, Isaac’s wife Hannah\, who had been taking care of their four sick children\, made the men breakfast and helped them to powder their wigs. Then they formed up in two long columns and headed out. They had only marched a few paces\, when Davis halted them\, walked back to Hannah as if to say something profound to her\, and said only “Take good care of the children”. Those would be the last words she would ever hear him say\, for the Acton Minutemen marched off to Concord\, met the British head-on at the North Bridge\, and Davis was shot and killed. He would go down in history as the first commissioned officer to die in the service of the new young Republic. \n \nMark your calendar so you don’t forget the next Isaac Davis Trail March on Patriots’ Day starting at the Isaac Davis Homestead in Acton\, MA. \nTags: Isaac Davis Trail March\, Patriot’s Day Events \nView other Patriots Day Reenactments and Other Events\nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/isaac-davis-trail-march/ LOCATION:Isaac Davis Homestead\, 39 Hayward Road\, Acton\, MA\, 01720\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Patriots Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Isaac-Davis-Trail-March-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Acton Historical Society":MAILTO:jenkslibrary@verizon.net END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
