The house later served as a headquarters for Sherman. \nSutlers (Period Vendors)\nThere will be several “sutlers\,” vendors selling food and drink as well as Civil War-style clothing and other items. Sutlery is by prior arrangement through the Sutler Coordinator or Event Coordinator due to site carrying capacity. \nPLEASE NOTE FLYING OF CONFEDERATE NATIONAL AND REGIMENTAL COLORS IS ENCOURAGED.\nWe will not disgrace our ancestors\, Confederate or Federal by attemoting to place the Politiccally Corerct Crowd\, nor will we bow to Tyrants who wish our History made palatable to them. \nThis was a Bloody War that Fire-formed this Nation into who it is today. These were American Citizen Soldiers\, who held different Loyalties in battles that showed the true Valor of both Sides as well as the terrible sacrifice\, showed their Honored Banners from that War. \nIf you do not like either the Union of States National and Regimental Colors nor the Confederate National and Regimental Colors\, please do not attend as a spectator\, we respect your beliefs and would fight to protect them but we also recognize our ancestors beliefs and history and will not bow our heads on either side to political expediency nor to ANY hate group. \nADA Accessibility Notes\nThe museum is equipped with handicap restroom facilities; parking available; there is a lot of walking\, both on pavement and on the ground. \nPet Friendly Notes\nDogs must be on a leash at all time; while they are welcome\, it’s not recommended due to the loud noise of the battle (cannons and gun fire) \nAbout the Construction & Battle for Tunnel Hill\nIn 1836 the Georgia General Assembly created the Western & Atlantic Railroad\, which would connect Ross’s Landing (soon to be renamed Chattanooga) with a point on the Chattahoochee River. Southern terminus of the 138-mile route was staked out with a “zero mile post” seven miles southeast of the Chattahoochee. A village sprouted around the point\, eventually to become the city of Atlanta. Long found a way of not having to tunnel through Missionary Ridge\, but in mountainous north Georgia\, Chetoogeta Mountain\, thirty miles south of Chattanooga\, had to be dug through. Work began July 1848 and the tunnel was opened October 1849. Track was laid and the first train passed through on May 9\, 1850. \nDuring the Civil War the Western & Atlantic was an important Confederate supply line\, especially for the Army of Tennessee. The unsuccessful Union army raid led by civilian James J. Andrews on April 2\, 1862 was intended to disrupt it. In the Georgia Campaign of 1864 the W & A served both the retreating and advancing armies. \nUnion forces seized Tunnel Hill in the opening days of the campaign. On the morning of May 7 Brig. Gen. Jefferson Davis’ Fourteenth Corps division advanced toward Tunnel Hill. Maj. J. T. Holmes’ 52nd Ohio was in the lead and found 50-100 Confederate cavalry near the town. After a brisk skirmish the Southern horsemen retired back toward Johnston’s main line along Rocky Face Ridge. The Confederates did not try to damage the tunnel and only took up some rails\, which were quickly replaced. Confederate forces approached Tunnel Hill twice more during the campaign – Wheeler’s cavalry in mid-August\, and Hood’s infantry after the fall of Atlanta in mid-October – but neither time did they attempt to damage the tunnel. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Tunnel Hill Reenactment in Tunnel Hill\, Georgia. \nTags: Battle of Tunnel Hill Reenactment\, Battle of Tunnel Hill Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

SUMMARY:Fort Lupton Trapper Days Rendezvous
DESCRIPTION:2019 Trapper Days Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \nExperience the pre-1840 fur trade at the annual Trapper Days Rendezvous on September 5-8\, 2019 at the South Platte Valley Historic Park in Fort Lupton\, Colorado. Trapper Days Rendezvous is one of the major yearly rendezvous events of the Tallow River Trappers hosted at the South Platte Valley Historical Society’s Historic Park. \n\nTrapper Days Rendezvous\nTrapper Days Rendezvous is a good time for all. Families and “pilgrims” are welcome to visit and get a feel for the historic rendezvous encampments of the mountain men. The rendezvous camp and the fort and the historic park are open during the day. The rendezvous coincides with the Trapper Day festivities in the city of Fort Lupton. In the rendezvous area of the historic park there is a Traders Row that provides trade goods from the 1830s. At dusk\, pre-1840 dress is required for everyone wanting to be in the rendezvous encampment. \nBeing the spring rendezvous\, the rendezvous camp area of the South Platte Valley Historic Park is greening up. Big leafy cottonwood trees provide shade and the fresh grassy areas provide a comfortable place to set up camp. Nearby\, snowmelt is running down the Platte River. Non re-enactor visitors are welcome during the day\, but at the end of the day only campers in pre-1840 clothing are allowed in the rendezvous area. There is a separate area for “Tin Teepees” and modern camps setups for those not in period attire. \nFort Lupton Trapper Days Rendezvous Mini-Gallery\n\n \nEarly Set-Up\nEarly set-up is on the Saturday and Sunday prior to the official dates of the Trapper Days Rendezvous. This allows campers and traders to establish their camp the weekend before the rendezvous. Camps must be broken down the last day of the rendezvous. \nLocation\nSouth Platte Valley Historic Park\n2001 Historic Parkway\nFort Lupton\, CO 80621\n303-857-1710 \nFor More Information:\nCall (303) 857-1710; Email spvhsboard@gmail.com \n \nAbout Lancaster Lupton’s Trade Fort\nIn 1836\, Lancaster Lupton\, formally a lieutenant in the U.S. Dragoons and a West Point graduate\, began building a trade fort that became a competitor to the mighty Bent and St Vrain Fur Company for the fur and buffalo hide trade with the plains tribes. While the original fort that Lancaster Lupton built has long been gone\, a dedicated group of individuals began in 2003 to reconstruct the fort. The reconstructed Fort Lancaster\, as it was known in its original period of operation\, 1836-1844\, was completed and dedicated in 2011.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nA visit to Lancaster Lupton’s trade fort is an experience of going back in time to when an individual with a vision and entrepreneurial spirit took risks to establish a trade enterprise on the wild prairie along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Lancaster Lupton first came to the area with a military expedition in 1835. By 1836 Lupton had resigned his commission and was bringing skilled craftsman and labor from the Mexican village of Taos north to build his trade fort. By 1837-38 he was trading with the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes. Come see his trade fort and walk through the inner plaza to visit the blacksmith and carpenter shops\, living quarters\, kitchen and food preparation rooms\, trade rooms\, cantina and storage room with historic artifacts.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nAbout South Platte Valley Historic Park\nHistoric Fort Lupton (aka Fort Lancaster) and South Platte Valley Settlement Historic Park encompasses 97 acres of land along the South Platte River just northwest of the city of Fort Lupton\, Colorado. The land consists of a large natural and camping area immediately along the river and a high bench of land where the original Fort Lancaster was located.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nAlong the river\, in groves of cottonwood trees are camping areas that can be used by Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops with reservations. These camping areas are also used by the re-enactment department of the SPVHS – the Tallow River Trappers – to hold periodic rendezvous events. Immediately along the river are nature areas that are home to deer\, turkey\, foxes and other animals and birds. At the north end of the historic park is a muzzleloading shooting range leased by the Fort Lupton Muzzleloading Club. \nStart your tour of the historic park at the re-creation of Fort Lancaster\, which was in operation from 1836 to 1844. Move down the path and see the restored trapper cabin from the 1850s\, which was originally located down along the Platte River in Adams County. Moving further down the path\, your will see both the Independence School built in 1875 and the Donelson homestead house built in the 1860s. The Donelson House and the Independence School represent the settlement of the Platte Valley started by the early fur trappers and traders.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nHosted by The Tallow River Trappers\nThe Tallow River Trappers is the living history branch of the South Platte Valley Historical Society\, sponsor of the annual rendezvous. The Tallow River Trapper has their own campsite below Fort Lancaster in Fort Lupton\, Colorado. They support five other rendezvous a year in addition to the \,and welcome all to attend. More about the Tallow River Trappers. \n \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Trapper Days Rendezvous in the rendezvous area of the South Platte Valley Historic Park in Fort Lupton\, Colorado on the weekend after Labor Day (Thursday – Sunday). \nTags: Trapper Days Rendezvous\, Trapper Days Mountain Man Rendezvous\, Fort Lupton Trapper Days Rendezvous\, Colorado Rendezvous\, Colorado Mountain Man Rendezvous \nView other Colorado Rendezvous

For desserts choose from peaches and pound cake\, raspberries and cream\, pies\, or vanilla ice cream with plum sauce. \nDrink Up at Three Historic Taverns\nThirsty visitors will find beverages in three taverns\, The Black Horse\, Littlejohn’s\, and the Hickory\, in addition to the Dancing Goats Coffee House\, which is located right in the middle of everything. In addition to lemonade\, ice tea\, a sarsaparilla\, and bottled water\, taverns also serve beer. (Although we claim to be in 1797\, a 21st century ID is still required of guests!) \nNative American Village\nFollow the sound of drums down a forest trail to visit the growing Woodlands Indian Village. The Fair at New Boston is on the former site of two Shawnee villages\, Peckuwe and Kispoko. Handicrafts\, games\, and demonstrations of Shawnee\, Mingo\, Miami\, Wyandotte\, and other tribes are featured. All day\, you can learn how food was prepared in camp at live cooking demonstrations. This is also one of the shadiest places to come on a hot\, sunny afternoon. \nMusic\nMusic was enjoyed in 1797 in many different forms\, as it is now. Relax in a historic tavern while listening to music of the era. Musicians playing violins\, mandolins\, guitars\, and even bagpipes move from tavern to tavern and rove throughout the area. The coffeehouse is a center of entertainment and a place where you can enjoy a game of checkers or chess. \nBattle Reenactment and Cannon\nThrill to the boom of the full-sized Revolutionary War cannon. The Mad River Light Artillery Revolutionary War reenactor group sets up their bronze British Light six-pounder at the top of the hill near the flagpole and militia encampment. This group will demonstrate cannon firing many times throughout each day. \nEach afternoon\, the Fair at New Boston features the excitement of a battle reenactment. Our reenactment features militia on foot and on horse\, cannons\, Shawnee warriors\, and British Crown troops. After the battle\, visit the militia camps on the hill between Hertzler House and the George Rogers Clark Memorial. The First Mad River Light Artillery near the flag pole will be available to answer questions. \nGrand Camera Obscura\nNear the entrance to the Fair at New Boston\, an oddly shaped tent will most likely be first to catch your attention. It’s the Grand Camera Obscura. Fair attendees can be among a relatively fortunate few who can enjoy this historical scientific attraction\, which is just like the one seen in Paris more than 200 years ago. Step into the round tent and be prepared to be amazed. \n\nPremier Living History Event\nThere is time after the battle to finish shopping\, get something to eat\, and catch another of the entertainers. You will also want to see the closing ceremonies at the end of the day. \nAll of this is why the Fair at New Boston is recognized as a premiere living history event. All the music\, entertainment\, clothing\, methods of cooking\, foods served\, merchandise booths\, and equipment used by the artisans are juried (or judged) to ensure authenticity to the period. It is also special because it is held on an historic site. George Rogers Clark Park was the site of the Battle of Peckuwe\, the Shawnee villages of Peckuwe and Kispoko\, and the frontier town of New Boston. The Fair at New Boston is our way of remembering our history. There is so much to do at the Fair at New Boston that many visitors come back for a second day of fun on Sunday. \nParticipant Information\nThis is a juried event.

It was built in what is now Perrysburg\, Ohio\, on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River rapids. Ground was broken on February 2\, 1813 under the orders of General William Henry Harrison\, who wanted to fortify the region. Throughout the next three months professional soldiers and militiamen alike persevered through cold winter weather and mud that would at times be knee-deep. Despite horrid weather and disease in the camp\, the American army was able to complete Fort Meigs by the end of April\, 1813\, just in time for a British attack.

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

The Fort Nisqually Brigade Encampment is one of the largest museum events of the year as reenactors set up dozens of tents as they arrive at the Fort. The annual encampment recreates the bustle and excitement of the historic visit of fur traders to the Fort in 1855. Guests will witness the arrival of the brigade (the convoy that delivered a year’s worth of furs) and spirited contests between trappers and traders – from obstacle course races to cooking contests. \n\nFort Nisqually Brigade Encampment\nThe Fort Nisqually Brigade Encampment includes two days of engaging activities on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. \nAdmission:\nAdult (18-64) – $15\nMilitary/Senior (65+) – $15\nYouth (4-17) – $10\nAges 3 & under Free \nAt noon each day\, you will witness the arrival of the fur trade brigade\, full of bravado and glad tidings.

A highlight for children is the Punch and Judy puppet show\, which takes place twice daily\, at 12:30 and 3:00. \nPunch and Judy Puppet Show\nThis fun and educational event is rooted in history. Once each year\, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) collected all its furs from the region in one place\, usually Fort Vancouver. In 1855\, HBC traders were instructed to bring their goods to Fort Nisqually instead. Before returning to their respective posts\, the traders rested their horses and entertained each other with contests\, dancing\, and puppet shows. \nFort Nisqually Brigade Encampment Mini Gallery\n\n \nLocation\nFort Nisqually Living History Museum\n5400 N.

The monument is surrounded by 710 acres within the boundaries of Grand Portage Ojibwe Indian Reservation and is the location of the annual Rendezvous Days Celebration Pow Wow and Grand Portage Rendezvous. \nAbout The Grand Portage\nThe Grand Portage is an 8.5-mile historic trade route of the French-Canadian voyageurs that passes through waterfalls and rapids that flow into Lake Superior. It became the gateway into rich northern fur-bearing country\, where it connected remote interior outposts to lucrative international markets. In August every year\, the voyageurs would show up and the company owners would come from Europe\, and Grand Portage became a rough and tumble celebration. After the celebration\, the furs were loaded aboard massive voyageur canoes and paddled across the Great Lakes and eventually shipped to Europe where many became hats. In the states\, the voyageurs would carry trade goods up the portage and then paddle 100s of miles back to their outposts. This repeated until beaver was almost extinct. Luckily for the beaver\, the fur hats that their pelts were used went out of fashion. \nNow\, each year on the second weekend of August\, fur trade reenactors descend on Grand Portage\, sent up canvas tents\, haul birchbark canoes around and the weekend becomes a fun family weekend. The local tribe’s powwow also goes on at the same time. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Grand Portage Rendezvous Days at the Grand Portage Monument Heritage Center in Grand Portage\, Minnesota. \nTags: Grand Portage Rendezvous Days\, Grand Portage Rendezvous\, Grand Portage Voyageur Rendezvous\, Minnesota Rendezvous\, Minnesota Voyageur Rendezvous \nView Other Minnesota Rendezvous

This fort went on to become its most famous fur trade post. Although called a fort\, the post was neither a government nor a military installation\, but a privately owned commercial establishment founded to engage in business with the Northern Plains Tribes. \nBuilt at the request of the Assiniboine nation\, Fort Union Trading Post\, then called Fort Union\, quickly emerged as the Upper Missouri’s most profitable fur trade post. This trade business continued until 1867\, giving rise to a uniquely diverse\, peaceful\, and productive social and cultural environment that helped make Fort Union western America’s longest-lasting fur trade post.

On the morning of July 29\, 1781\, while Alston and his band of revolutionaries were camped at the home\, they were attacked by a larger unit of Tories\, whose leader was the notorious David Fanning. \nMrs. Alston and the children sought refuge by standing inside the chimney of the home. When the loyalists decided to set the home on fire by rolling against it a cart filled with burning straw\, Mrs. Alston bravely went to the front porch and negotiated a truce. \nAfter several casualties on both sides\, Alston surrendered. The house was left riddled with bullet holes\, many of which can still be seen today. \nAbout the Alston House\nThe House in the Horseshoe is a historic house in Sanford\, North Carolina \, and a historic site managed by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources’ Historic Sites division. \nLocation\nHouse in the Horseshoe State Historic Site\n288 Alston House Road\nSanford\, NC 27330\n910-947-2051 \nMark your calendar so you don’t miss the next House in the Horseshoe Battle Reenactment the first weekend in August in Sanford\, North Carolina. \n \nTags: House in the Horseshoe Battle Reenactment\, House in the Horseshoe Revolutionary War Battle Reenactment\, Living History \nView Horseshoe Militia Muster & Candlelight Tour Details
