Behind them stood the Marquis de Montcalm\, a general used to doing the impossible in Canada and the mountains of Italy. With woolen vestes packed away\, wearing the white coats of France\, each French soldier double-checked his stockpile of loaded muskets and hoped for a miracle to defend New France from a British onslaught. Sweat beading up on their brows\, they looked over tangled branches and a forest of mere stumps. With piercing eyes they looked over the top of the stacked logs and began to see blazing musket fire explode as the largest single day of battle yet in the history of North America began. \nThree days prior\, the largest military force ever assembled in North America embarked by bateaux down Lake George\, leaving the ruins of Fort William Henry to invade New France from the south. At Fort Carillon\, 3\,700 French soldiers\, Canadian milice\, and native warriors stood to defend French soil in the New World. Abercromby’s army of British and Provincial soldiers landed at the north end of Lake George\, after a long night packed into the fleet of bateaux. Sweeping through the La Chute valley\, Brigadier General Lord Augustus Howe and the advanced guard encountered a lost patrol of French soldiers. In the ensuing confusing battle Lord Howe was shot through the chest\, and killed on the spot. The death of this leader\, known as the darling of the army\, struck a blow to British morale and tactical command. \n \nIn spite of Lord Howe’s death\, British and Provincial soldiers dug in along the La Chute River and General Abercromby prepared to assault the Heights of Carillon. Abercromby’s intelligence led him to believe that the Marquis de Montcalm’s soldiers had prepared merely a defensive abatis\, which could easily be taken. Early in the morning of July 8th\, General Abercromby moved regulars\, provincials\, and rangers into position to attack the Heights of Carillon. By this plan\, three columns of British and provincial soldiers would attack three sides of the French lines in unison. Instead\, individual regiments rushed forward\, dissipating their immense numerical advantage. What was supposed to be a well-coordinated attack soon fell apart. The French kept up a consistent fire on the attacking force\, pinning many of the British soldiers down\, forcing them to hide behind stumps of trees and the bodies of their fallen comrades. David Perry\, a Massachusetts provincial soldier\, described his perilous situation that July day. \nIt happened that I got behind a white-oak stump\, which was so small that I had to lay on my side\, and stretch myself; the balls striking the ground within a hand’s breadth of me every moment\, and I could hear the men screaming\, and see them dying all around me. I lay there some time. A man could not stand erect\, without being hit\, any more than he could stand out in a shower\, without having drops of rain fall upon him; for the balls came by hands-full. \nBritish Defeat and Retreat\nThe outcome looked grim for the few attackers who made it to the abatis. Rushing over the bare no-mans-land\, they attempted to cut and force their way through the sharp entangled branches\, facing clouds of lead bullets. After seven hours of fighting\, the battlefield was littered with the dead and dying\, and with dusk encompassing the battlefield a disorganized retreat south ensued for the British and provincial soldiers. The retreating soldiers brought with them the story of this great battle\, taking the name Ticonderoga home to taverns and newspapers in America and Britain. \nThis fight for the Heights of Carillon at that time was the single most-bloody day in American history\, and gave Fort Carillon a formidable reputation. Having held the French Lines for one day\, French soldiers continued to dig in\, preparing for a second day’s attack. Their somber celebration for the day’s victory was a single cross raised high behind the French Lines. The Marquis de Montcalm ordered this cross raised as thanks for their miraculous victory\, even as they prayed for another such miracle. News of this miraculous victory reached France by the fall of that year. On October 1st\, 1758 the French army staged a reenactment of the battle\, to accompany fireworks to celebrate in front of Paris city hall. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next 1758 Montcalms Cross Battle of Carillon Reenactment in July at historic Fort Ticonderoga! \nTags: Montcalms Cross Battle of Carillon Reenactment at Fort Ticonderoga\, French & Indian War Reenactment\, Montcalms Cross Battle of Carillon Reenactment\, 1758 Battle of Carillon Reenactment\, Battle of Carillon Reenactment \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events\nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/montcalms-cross-battle-of-carillon-reenactment-at-fort-ticonderoga/ 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/2016/04/Montcalms-Cross-Battle-of-Carillon-Reenactment-23b-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190720 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190722 DTSTAMP:20260408T161919 CREATED:20160713T014055Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190312T033617Z UID:6203-1563580800-1563753599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Duncans Mills Civil War Days Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Duncans Mills Civil War Days Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDon’t miss the 20th Annual Duncans Mills Civil War Days Reenactment on July 20-21\, 2019 in Duncans Mills\, California.

During their voyage of 1804 – 1806\, they led the “Corps of Northwestern Discovery” overland from St. Louis to the mouth of the Columbia River\, and back again. With no means for resupply\, the Corps – a U.S. Army unit of 31 men\, accompanied by Sacagawea and her infant child\, Jean Baptiste – needed to use a diverse combination of skills\, along with the right tools\, in order to survive. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Lewis and Clark Living History at Knappton Cove in July in Naselle\, Washington. \n \nTags: Lewis and Clark Living History at Knappton Cove\, Lewis and Clark Living History\, Knappton Cove Heritage Center\, Washington Living History\, Washington Rendezvous \nView other Washington Rendezvous & Other Related Living History Events\nView Other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/lewis-and-clark-living-history-at-knappton-cove/ LOCATION:Knappton Cove Heritage Center\, 521 WA-401\, Nasalle\, WA\, 98638\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Same week in month,Washington Rendezvous ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Lewis-and-Clark-Living-History-at-Knappton-Cove-01-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Pacific Northwest Living Historians":MAILTO:privatejwhitehouse@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190713 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190715 DTSTAMP:20260408T161919 CREATED:20170705T133612Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190702T164212Z UID:16656-1562976000-1563148799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Lake County Forest Preserves Civil War Days in Wauconda DESCRIPTION:2019 Lake County Forest Preserves Civil War Days in Wauconda\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the 28th Annual Lake County Forest Preserves Civil War Days in Wauconda\, Illinois on July 13-14\, 2019 at the Lake County Discovery Museum.

During the early morning hours of July 7\, 1777\, British General John Burgoyne’s army met the resistance and bravery of Americans for the first time in the Battle of Hubbardton. A massive British invasion from Canada chased the Continental Army from Mount Independence south to Hubbardton. \nThe British strategy was to continue to New York and divide New England from the rest of the colonies. On a grassy hill\, the New Englanders made their stand. While the British held the field and technically won the battle\, their losses were so heavy that they gave up chasing the Americans to tend to their casualties. The Battle of Hubbardton marked the beginning of the end for Burgoyne and his great plan. On August 16 he suffered a stunning blow at the Battle of Bennington. On October 17\, 1777\, after the battles of Saratoga\, he surrendered with his entire Army\, an action that was of great importance in persuading the French to enter the war on the side of the Americans. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Hubbardton Revolutionary War Encampment Weekend at the Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site in Hubbardton\, VT. \nTags: Hubbardton Revolutionary War Encampment Weekend\, Hubbardton Revolutionary War Reenactment\, Vermont Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-hubbardton-revolutionary-war-encampment-weekend/ LOCATION:Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site\, 5696 Monument Hill Road\, Hubbardton\, VT\, 05735\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Battle-of-Hubbardton-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-Weekend-14-1600x1067.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Hubbardton Historical Society":MAILTO:history@hubbardton.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190705 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190708 DTSTAMP:20260408T161919 CREATED:20160702T155430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190416T150018Z UID:5987-1562284800-1562543999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Old Fort Niagara French & Indian War Encampment DESCRIPTION:2019 Old Fort Niagara French & Indian War Encampment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the Old Fort Niagara French & Indian War Encampment on July 5-7\, 2019 at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown\, New York as hundreds of reenactors recreate the historic siege of 1759.

General Horatio Gates\, their newly-appointed commander\, quickly sprung into action reorganizing\, resupplying\, and restoring the discipline of America’s northern defense. Gates put soldiers from New England\, New York\, New Jersey\, and Pennsylvania to work building earthworks all around the old Fort of Ticonderoga and constructing a navy to defend Lake Champlain. \n1776 was a year of rebuilding the Northern Army as part of building a new nation. While the Continental Congress discussed the finer points of declaring independence in Philadelphia\, the shattered remnants of the Continental Army which had come so close to capturing Quebec trickled back down to Fort Ticonderoga. Frost bitten\, starving\, and decimated by smallpox these soldiers began building up bulwarks and America’s first navy to defend their new nation. A new Continental Army emerged reinforced by soldiers from Pennsylvania\, Connecticut\, Massachusetts\, New Jersey\, New Hampshire and New York\, to guard Fort Ticonderoga. \nWhile the declaration itself was signed July 4th\, news of the document and the patriotic sentiment it carried would not reach the Northern Army at Fort Ticonderoga until July 28th. The new fortifications of Rattlesnake Hill were christened Mount Defiance to mark the occasion of the first reading of the Declaration to these soldiers. \nMark your calendar today for the Fort Ticonderoga Independence Day Weekend so you don’t miss this exciting French & Indian War event! \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Independence Day Weekend\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-independence-day-weekend/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,4th of July Weekend Rendezvous & Historic Reenactments,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fourth of July Events,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Fort-Ticonderoga-Independence-day-weekend-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190704T020000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190704T170000 DTSTAMP:20260408T161920 CREATED:20160620T100425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181107T183716Z UID:5645-1562205600-1562259600@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Meigs Independence Day DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Meigs Independence Day\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive July 4\, 1813 at Fort Meigs Independence Day celebration on July 4th each year at historic Fort Meigs in Perrysburg\, Ohio.

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.

French-Canadian voyageurs\, known as voyageurs\, were among the most colorful historic visitors to Michilimackinac. Try your hand at voyageur games\, join in singing a rousing paddling song\, and master the skills these hardy men needed to keep the Great Lakes fur trade moving. \nAdmission: Cost: Adults: $12.50; Youth: $7.50; Under 5: Free \nHours: 9:00 am – 7:00 pm both days \nLocation\nColonial Fort Michilimackinac\n102 Straits Ave W\nMackinaw City\, MI 49701\n(231) 436-4100 \nFor More Information: Call (231) 436-4100; Email mackinacparks@michigan.gov \n \nWhat is a Voyageur Rendezvous?\nThe French started trading in furs in North America in the 16th century\, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada in the 17th century\, and the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. The 19th-century North American fur trade\, when the industry was at its peak of economic importance\, involved the development of elaborate trade networks and companies.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nThis fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French\, British\, Dutch\, Spanish\, and Russians. Indeed\, in the early history of the United States\, capitalizing on this trade\, and removing the British stranglehold over it\, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s\, however\, changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. \nIn canoe-based fur trade areas\, one type of rendezvous is associated with the voyageur and canoe-based fur trade business which was largely in Canada and the states in the US around the Great Lakes\, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin. These Voyageur Rendezvous were generally at a transportation transfer point within in a wilderness route that could not be traversed in one season run by and including the fur trade of only a single company. The transfer was the dominant reason for holding the rendezvous although they included other meetings and revelry.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nWho were the Voyageurs?\nVoyageur is a French word\, meaning “traveler”. Voyageurs were French Canadians who engaged in the transporting of furs by canoe during the fur trade years. From the beginning of the fur trade in the 1680s until the late 1870s\, the voyageurs were the blue-collar workers of the Montreal fur trade. At their height in the 1810s\, they numbered as many as 3\,000 men. Hired from farms and villages of the St. Lawrence Valley\, most spoke French and generally could not read or write. These men agreed to work for a number of years in exchange for pay\, equipment\, clothing and “room and board.” Most voyageurs would start working when they were in their early twenties and continue working into their sixties. Sometimes being a voyageur was a family tradition.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nHard working and tough\, voyageurs provided the power to move the canoes forward\, paddling at a rate of 40-60 strokes per minute\, often 16-18 hours a day. They were also required to carry a minimum of 180 pounds on their backs\, as both trade goods and furs were placed into standard weight bundles of 90 pounds each\, and each voyageur was required to carry two bundles\, though some carried even more. Twelve beaver hides paid the wages for a common voyageur for the year.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nAbout Fort Michilimackinac \nFort Michilimackinac was an 18th-century French\, and later British\, fort and trading post at the Straits of Mackinac; it was built on the northern tip of the lower peninsula of the present-day state of Michigan in the United States. Built around 1715\, and abandoned in 1783\, it was located along the Straits\, which connected Lake Huron and Lake Michigan of the Great Lakes of North America. \nPresent-day Mackinaw City developed around the site of the fort\, which has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Fort Michilimackinac was relocated to the new Fort Mackinac (don’t get them confused) on Mackinac Island during the American Revolution\, with some of the buildings moved across the ice in the winter of 1780-1781. The remaining structures were burnt to the ground. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Rendezvous at the Straits: Voyageur Culture at historic Colonial Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City\, Michigan. \nTags: Rendezvous at the Straits: Voyageur Culture\, Rendezvous at the Straits\, Voyageur Rendezvous at the Straits\, Michigan Rendezvous\, Michigan Voyageur Rendezvous \nView other Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/rendezvous-at-the-straits-voyageur-culture/ LOCATION:Fort Michilimackinac\, 102 Straits Ave\, Mackinaw City\, MI\, 49701\, United States CATEGORIES:Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Michigan Rendezvous,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Rendezvous-at-the-Straits-Voyageur-Culture-39-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Michilimackinac":MAILTO:mackinacparks@michigan.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190629 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190701 DTSTAMP:20260408T161920 CREATED:20180504T150006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190605T142944Z UID:24271-1561766400-1561939199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Mille Lacs History Festival and Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2019 Mille Lacs History Festival and Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience early fur trade-era life at the 27th Annual Mille Lacs History Festival and Rendezvous on June 29-30\, 2019 six miles south of Isle\, Minnesota.

Construction began in late 1755 and was completed one year later. It served as the military headquarters for the frontier company (approximately fifty men) as well as a safe-haven for settlers. The fort was attacked on the night of February 27\, 1760 when more than 70 Cherokees were repelled. The garrison suffered two men wounded\, as well as having one colonial boy killed. The Cherokee were reported to have lost 10-12 men killed and wounded. By the end of 1761\, the British had essentially won the war and only thirty troops remained at the fort. Colonial leaders disbanded the troops and removed all the supplies of the garrison as settlement moved far west of the fort. The neglected fort was in ruins by 1766. \nReconstruction of Fort Dobbs\nSoon after protecting the site of Fort Dobbs in 1909\, the Daughters of the American Revolution recognized the need to reconstruct the blockhouse. Following initial archaeological investigations in the 1960’s and ’70’s the site became a State Historic Site\, but with several key questions about the original structure still unanswered\, no immediate reconstruction effort was planned.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nIn 2003\, the reincorporated non-profit Friends of Fort Dobbs took up the vision of then-site manager Beth Hill to begin an effort to rebuild. More than a decade of hard work ensued. The Friends undertook a fundraising campaign to fund the effort and co-operated with State officials\, historians\, historic building specialists\, architects\, and noted archaeologist Dr. Larry Babits to develop feasible\, historically sound plans and the capital needed to make Fort Dobbs stand on the banks of Fourth Creek once again. \nFollowing several other facility improvements to the site\, ground was broken for the new fort in August of 2016. A mix of modern and 18th Century construction techniques have been employed to meet the challenge of building a structure that must simultaneously meet modern building standards while also approximating an entirely hand-build piece of military engineering from 260 years ago. We hope\, with your support\, to have Fort Dobbs open as a living history exhibit on a grand scale by early 2019![/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Dobbs Militia Muster French and Indian War Reenactment at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fort Dobbs Militia Muster\, Fort Dobbs Militia Muster French and Indian War Reenactment\, Militia Muster\, French and Indian War Reenactment\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other War of 1812 Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-dobbs-militia-muster-french-and-indian-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Dobbs State Historic Site\, 438 Fort Dobbs Road\, Statesville\, NC\, 28625\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,French & Indian War Reenactment,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fort-Dobbs-Militia-Muster-French-and-Indian-War-Reenactment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Dobbs":MAILTO:info@fortdobbs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190629 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190701 DTSTAMP:20260408T161920 CREATED:20170320T151313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181112T123743Z UID:13144-1561766400-1561939199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:To Garrison the Fort - Fort Frederick in the Revolutionary War DESCRIPTION:2019 To Garrison the Fort – Fort Frederick in the Revolutionary War\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nTo Garrison the Fort – Fort Frederick in the Revolutionary War: June 29-30\, 2019 at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland.

The year of 1777 became known as the “Year of Despair” and one can only imagine the terror and hardships the settlers in the Fort had to endure. But\, the Fort held\, attack after attack. Had it not\, there would have been no Harrods Town\, no Harrodsburg and no State of Kentucky. \nFort Harrod was never overrun. At one point they nearly ran out of gun powder which gave rise to the famous “Powder Run” by George Rogers Clark\, James Harrod and others to obtain the much needed powder.

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. Begin your journey in the Fort Meigs Visitor Center. Purchase tickets to explore the fort or shop the museum store. The administrative offices\, museum\, education center\, restrooms and vending machines are all found in the Visitor Center. All visits to Fort Meigs begin and end here. It is your gateway to life in 1813!

Just north of Bedford near the town of Loysburg\, a network of defensive trenches dug to protext Loysburg Gap survives to this day. The trenches were occupied in June of 1863 as residents of the area feared the invasion could target the farms and livestock of Morrison’s Cove and the railroad in Altoona to support Confederate troop in the field. \nEach year\, the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment features hundreds of reenactors from state across the region. These living historians have a true passion for the Civil War time period they portray\, and have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours researching what and where to obtain the equipment and knowledge needed to portray the life of the common soldier serving in that war. \nDuring the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment\, visitors can visit the camp sites of soldiers serving in both the Union and Confederate armies. They can witness what camp life was like\, learn how the soldiers passed the time when they weren’t marching or fighting\, and speak with the reenactors (and don’t worry\, they do like to talk about this favorite topic). Civilian life is also represented as many women and children also attend the event in period attire. Each afternoon a battle reenactment will unfold\, and visitors will have the opportunity to see first-hand the sights\, sounds\, and smells of battle. No history book or television documentary can give a viewer as realistic an experience as attending a Civil War reenactment in person. \nWhat makes the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment even more special is the Village itself. Because of the many original 17th and 18th century structures on site\, Old Bedford Village truly presents the image of a town that ha been overrun by two great armies\, with residents forced from their homes as soldiers move in\, camp in their yards\, and procure their food and livestock. Visitors can tour the building. Some will be occupied by the reenactors while others will feature Old Bedford Village’s skilled tradesmen and artisans who can explain their craft such as blacksmithing\, spinning and weaving\, tin smithing\, candle making and more. \nAbout Old Bedford Village\nCross the Claycomb covered bridge and step back in time to the 18th century at Old Bedford Village.
