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. Present-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 Fort Michilimackinac Reenactment Pageant on Memorial Day Weekend at historic Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City\, Michigan. \nTags: Fort Michilimackinac Reenactment Pageant\, Michigan Voyageur Rendezvous\, Michigan Rendezvous\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events\nView other Longhunter Rendezvous or Encampments\nView other Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-michilimackinac-reenactment-pageant/ LOCATION:Fort Michilimackinac\, 102 Straits Ave\, Mackinaw City\, MI\, 49701\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Indian Wars,Living History Events,Memorial Day Events,Memorial Day Rendezvous and Reenactments,Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Fort-Michilimackinac-Reenactment-Pageant-22-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Michilimackinac Reenactment Committee":MAILTO:porterp@michigan.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190524 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190528 DTSTAMP:20260408T215053 CREATED:20190412T104401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190412T153908Z UID:38568-1558656000-1559001599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Coldwater River Through Time Living History Event DESCRIPTION:2019 Coldwater River Through Time Living History Event\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the annual Coldwater River Through Time Living History Event on May 24-27\, 2019 at Heritage Park in Coldwater\, Michigan.

Peek into the lives of those who would have lived or traded along the waterways of the Midwest more than 250 years ago when the marshes were a source of valuable furs desired by merchant traders to take back to Europe. \nThe Voyageur Rendezvous at Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park welcomes visitors into encampments of French Canadian voyageurs\, French and British militia\, civilians and settlers\, and Native Americans. Artisans will demonstrate some traditional crafts of those times. The nearly 100 costumed reenactors adhere to details of the time period in their costumes and camps\, according to Robertson\, and share that sense of history with visitors to the event. \nThe Voyageur Rendezvous at Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park is a family friendly event with lots of fun and interactive activities for the kids. Visit the Children’s Trading Post to pick up a scavenger hunt list. This list is not items to collect\, but rather items to look for at the event. Talk to anybody in costume to get information on the list item you’re looking for and get them to sign the form. When leaving\, the child may bring the completed sheet back to the trading post to trade for an item. The voyageur rendezvous is fun for all ages\, and it’s immersive — sights\, sounds\, smells and activities of that historic period. \nHours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday\nAdmission: $5.00 with children 5 and younger admitted free \nVoyageur Rendezvous Highlights\nEvent Highlights include Opening and Closing Ceremonies • Arrival of Voyageurs by canoe • Trade Session with the Native Americans • Storytelling • Tomahawk Throw • Fashion Show • Hot Food\, Cold Sarsaparilla and more. Saturday’s scheduled activities include canoe “bobber races” and storytelling. While on Sunday there will be a period clothing fashion show\, following which the public will be invited to join in historic dances\, accompanied by the fife and drum corps. There will also be historic games and make-and-take projects at the trading post\, tomahawk throwing for older children\, and fife and drum music on both days. Food will be available at the site and there will also be a vendor of period items. \nDaily Opening Ceremony\nAn opening ceremony begins the historical reenactment festivities each day at 10:30 a.m. and presents some perspective to the event. The British military\, French military and civilian re-enactors come from the camps and the Native Americans arrive. They meet at the flag pole. One of the re-enactors holds up a wampum belt in a gesture of welcome. Then three flags are raised: the French\, British and historical American flag of the time as the fife and drum corps plays the song of each nation from that historical period. A little later\, at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday\, the voyageurs arrive. Their landings are another highlight of the event as they paddle in with their big canoes loaded with goods. \nLocation\nGrand Kankakee Marsh County Park\n21690 Range Line Road\nHebron\, IN 46341\n(219) 552-0033 \nFor More Information\nLake County Parks & Rec: Call 219-769-7275; Email info@lakecountyparks.com \n \nWho were these Voyageurs?\nTo equate the voyageurs of the fur trade era in the Great Lakes area to something today\, consider all the trucks on today’s roads. When voyageurs plied the area waters this was the wilderness. The rivers then were like the highways today\, and were very important to the history and the development and the economic growth in the area. \nHistorically\, the voyageurs landed and exchanged gifts with the natives first\, before any trading. They might spend a whole day exchanging gifts\, generally with the men\, after which most of the trading would be done with the women.

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-2017-08-19-2019-05-18/ 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;VALUE=DATE:20190518 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190520 DTSTAMP:20260408T215054 CREATED:20160405T150542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190513T220945Z UID:4164-1558137600-1558310399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of New Market Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Battle of New Market Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the sights and sounds of the Battle of New Market Reenactmentt on May 18-19\, 2019 at the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park in New Market\, Virginia.

The fort was reconstructed during the Great Depression and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. \nThe 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. \n \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Spring Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekend at Fort Loudoun State Park in Vonore\, Tennessee. \nTags: Spring Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekend\, Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekend\, French & Indian War Encampment\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/spring-fort-loudoun-garrison-weekend/ LOCATION:Fort Loudoun State Park\, 338 Fort Loudoun Road\, Vonore\, TN\, 37885\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Fort-Loudoun-Garrison-Weekend-May-24-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Loudoun Association":MAILTO:fortloudoun@tds.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190518 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190520 DTSTAMP:20260408T215054 CREATED:20190116T130741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T165615Z UID:32498-1558137600-1558310399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Alamance Reenactment: Fight for the Backcountry DESCRIPTION:2019 Battle of Alamance Reenactment: Fight for the Backcountry\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWitness history at the annual Battle of Alamance Reenactment: Fight for the Backcountry on May 18-19\, 2019 at Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in Burlington\, North Carolina.

On May 16\, 1771 when a group of rebellious backcountry farmers who called themselves “Regulators” met the loyalist militia of Governor William Tryon in open battle. “Fight for the Backcountry” will feature a recreation of the Battle of Alamance\, and will explore life in the backcountry in the early 1770s\, as the American colonies stood on the brink of revolution. \n\nBattle of Alamance Reenactment\nThe weekend program at the Battle of Alamance Reenactment will feature a battle reenactment\, military drills\, artillery and musket drills\, and an audience with Colonial Gov.

Known as Regulators because of a desire to regulate public officials\, the colonists were poorly trained and outgunned.

It pitted two groups of North Carolinians against each other. There were approximately 2\,000 backcountry farmers called Regulators and around 1\,000 militia troops (citizen soldiers) under the command of Royal Governor William Tryon involved in the two-hour battle. Having officers\, a battle plan\, and more weaponry (which included eight cannon)\, the royal governor and his men easily defeated the ill-prepared Regulators. Governor Tryon reported that nine of his men were killed and sixty-one wounded in the military engagement. Although undetermined\, the Regulator casualties would end up being much greater. It is possible that as many as 100 Regulators may have been killed. The Battle of Alamance officially ended the so-called Regulator movement that began in the 1760’s.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nUnfair taxation\, dishonest and corrupt government officials\, and the lack of representation were all serious concerns of the Regulators. In most cases\, government officials (sheriffs\, clerks of court\, registers of deeds\, etc.) attained their positions through appointments by men in power\, not by elections involving the citizenry of the colony. The Regulators sought a better regulation of these government officials and more control of their own affairs. Geographical\, social\, and economic factors all had effects on the Regulator movement. \nAlthough the Battle of Alamance was not the first official battle of the American Revolution\, it did provide some valuable insight for revolutionaries as discontent with British rule continued to increase. For the approximately 6\,000 Regulators who took the oath of allegiance to the Crown\, many of them remained loyal to England during the War for Independence. Some of the militia serving under Governor Tryon\, who gained valuable military experience at the battle\, would end up fighting against the British. Richard Caswell\, the first man to serve as governor of the state of North Carolina\, was one of those to serve in the militia and later become an integral part of this country’s independence movement.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Alamance Reenactment: Fight for the Backcountry in May at the Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in Burlington\, North Carolina. \nTags: Battle of Alamance Reenactment\, lamance Battle Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-alamance-reenactment-fight-for-the-backcountry/ LOCATION:Alamance Battleground State Historic Site\, 5803 South N.C. 62\, Burlington\, NC\, 27215\, 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/2019/01/Battle-of-Alamance-Reenactment-19b-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Alamance Battleground Friends Inc":MAILTO:Fay.Mitchell@ncdcr.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190518 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190520 DTSTAMP:20260408T215054 CREATED:20170220T151116Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190513T223613Z UID:11976-1558137600-1558310399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Siege at Fort Watauga DESCRIPTION:2019 Siege at Fort Watauga\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the excitement at the 25th Annual Siege at Fort Watauga on May 19-20\, 2018 at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton\, Tennessee.

No generators in modern camp unless authorized by the booshway.* \nContact Information\nplainsmenblackpowderclub@gmail.com \nDuring the great fur trade era\, a rendezvous was the time all the trappers would get together to sell their furs and buy supplies from the “traders” who would bring supplies to the rendezvous site. At the rendezvous\, the men would renew old friendships and engage in various competitions to test their skills of every kind and character. There are black powder clubs in every state of the United States\, in Canada and even in Europe. There are several rendezvous held annually in our region\, including Bemidji\, Perham\, Detroit Lakes\, and Gary\, South Dakota. \nToday’s Rendezvous\nAt each rendezvous\, a “living history” or period encampment is set up and participants dress in period clothing and use period equipment. An area is also usually set aside for people to camp in modern tents or campers\, known as “tin tepees.” This allows people to participate who for a variety of reasons choose not to have a fur trade era (pre-1840s) period camp. There are events where only period correct camps are allowed on site. \nCompetition Events\nThe sponsoring club of any rendezvous runs many activities\, usually over a weekend. There are “national rendezvous” around the country that last a week or more. For example\, at the Plainsmen Black Powder Club Rendezvous\, we offer a variety of shooting competitions. There are also competitions in hawk and knife throwing\, primitive archery\, games for children\, cooking contests\, homemade wine judging\, fire starting contests\, and many other activities. \nAbout Plainsmen Black Powder Club\nThe Plainsmen Black Powder Club started in 1972 with a small group of men who had a passion for muzzle-loading guns and the ways of the past. We try to portray the ways of the mountain men. Some call it “living history”. Today\, the club is more family-oriented by dressing the parts of the past at rendezvous throughout the US. We dress anywhere from the 1750s to 1840s. At rendezvous we have shooting competitions\, trail walks\, tomahawk and knife throws\, women’s and children’s games. We can also be found just sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Plainsmen Black Powder Club Rendezvous in May outside of Kindred\, North Dakota. \nTags: Plainsmen Black Powder Club Rendezvous\, Plainsmen Mountain Man Rendezvous\, North Dakota Mountain Man Rendezvous\, North Dakota Rendezvous \nView Other North Dakota Rendezvous URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/plainsmen-black-powder-club-rendezvous/ LOCATION:High Plains Regional Rendezvous Sheleon ND Site\, ND\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Mountain Man Rendezvous,North Dakota Rendezvous ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Plainsmen-Black-Powder-Club-Rendezvous-09-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Plainsman Black Powder Club":MAILTO:plainsmenblackpowderclub@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190517 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190520 DTSTAMP:20260408T215054 CREATED:20161118T121704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190213T205250Z UID:9170-1558051200-1558310399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Spring Rendezvous Links to the Future DESCRIPTION:2019 Spring Rendezvous Links to the Future\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 14th Annual Spring Rendezvous Links to the Future on May 17-19\, 2019 at the Wolf Creek State Park in Windsor\, Illinois.

The station takes its name from Joseph Martin\, who led the expedition that identified that tract of land where they erected a stockaded fort\, some crude cabins\, and planted a corn crop. These efforts at settlement proved to be useless\, as an Indian attack occurred in the fall of 1769 and the station was abandoned. Joseph Martin would not be long absent from the station\, and in January 1775 returned to Powell’s Valley with a party of 16 or 18 men who built a more permanent station. As the last fortified station along the Wilderness Road prior to reaching the new lands being opened in Kentucky\, Martin’s Station was a well-known stop for the early settlers. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Raid at Martin’s Station reenactment at the Wilderness Road State Park in Ewing\, Virginia. \nTags: Martin’s Station Reenactment\, Martin’s Station \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events\nView other Market Fair & Trade Fair Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/raid-at-martins-station/ LOCATION:Historic Martins Station at Wilderness Road State Park\, 8051 Wilderness Road\, Ewing\, VA\, 24248\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Market Fair,Same week in month,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Raid-on-Martins-Station-Reinactment-06-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Wilderness Road State Park":MAILTO:WildernessRoad@dcr.virginia.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190509 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190513 DTSTAMP:20260408T215054 CREATED:20170312T204142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190227T124648Z UID:12873-1557360000-1557705599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:The Past Passed Here DESCRIPTION:2018 The Past Passed Here\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEnjoy living history at the 16th Annual The Past Passed Here on May 9-12\, 2019 at Allen Park in Chippewa Falls\, Wisconsin.

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] \n \nTags: Fort Lupton Heritage Fair\, Colorado History Festival\, History Timeline\nDon’t miss the next Fort Lupton Heritage Fair at the South Platte Valley Historic Park in Fort Lupton\, Colorado.

Far different from the original mountain men rendezvous\, it was organized as a family event. Then called the Black Powder Rendezvous\, it was moderately successful\, attracting about 500 people. It was moved to its present location in 1986 due to the need for additional space and to take advantage of the natural beauty of the site a well as the traditional significance of the river in the lives of early settlers. \nThe first three rendezvous were sponsored and organized by the Hickory County Historical Society. During those years it grew tremendously\, both in scope and popularity. Due to this rapid growth and its increasing complexity\, a new organization\, the Pomme de Terre Rendezvous Association was formed to sponsor the event. The Rendezvous Association\, made up of local people and organizations interested in ensuring that area history is preserved. One way of doing so is through such annual events as the Pomme de Terre Rendezvous. In 2006\, the Hermitage Lions Club assumed the overall sponsorship of the event that is organized and operated by the Rendezvous Committee. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Pomme de Terre Rendezvous at Lake Outlet Park in Carson’s Corner\, Missouri. \n \nTags: Muzzleloader \, Pomme de Terre Mountain Man Rendezvous\, Pomme de Terre Voyageur Rendezvous\, Missouri Rendezvous\, Missouri Voyageur Rendezvous\, Missouri Mountain Man Rendezvous \nView other Fur-Trade-Era Rendezvous URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/pomme-de-terre-rendezvous/ LOCATION:Pomme de Terre Lake Outlet Park\, County Road 218\, Hermitage\, MO\, 65668\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Missouri Rendezvous,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Same week in month,Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Pomme-de-Terre-Rendezvous-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190503 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190505 DTSTAMP:20260408T215055 CREATED:20190326T131449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190326T132129Z UID:37777-1556841600-1557014399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Colonial Fort Halifax Festival DESCRIPTION:2019 Colonial Fort Halifax Festival\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience early American history at the Colonial Fort Halifax Festival on May 3-4\, 2019 at the Fort Halifax Park in Halifax\, Pennsylvania next to the beautiful Susquehanna River.
