Buchanan Farmers provided the Confederate quartermaster with beef\, cotton\, yarn and corn. Buchanan also provided troops for the Confederate war effort\, most notably for the Botetourt Artillery. The unit distinguished itself in the defense of Vicksburg. \nFederal General David Hunter marched through Buchanan on June 13\, 1864 on his ill-fated raid in Lynchburg. The following day Confederate General J.D. Imboden reported that Hunter had driven Confederate troops under McCausland’s command out of Buchanan. Period letters tell how McCausland burned the covered bridge over the James River before leaving igniting a fire which destroyed close to thirty buildings. Personal letters of the era also tell of the devastation to Buchanan caused by the war including the burning of Col. John Anderson’s home known as Mount Joy\, the three day Federal occupation of Oak Hill\, the Anchorage\, the Presbyterian Manse as well as other private homes and offices throughout Town. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Buchanan Civil War History Weekend in downtown Buchanon\, Virginia. \n \nTags: Buchanan Civil War History Weekend\, Buchanan Civil War Weekend\, Buchanan Civil War Days\, Buchanan Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Days\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/buchanan-civil-war-history-weekend/ LOCATION:Downtown Buchanan\, 19753 Main Street\, Buchanan\, VA\, 24066\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Same week in month,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Buchanan-Civil-War-History-Weekend-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Town of Buchanan":MAILTO:hgleason@buchanan-va.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190426 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190429 DTSTAMP:20260409T030047 CREATED:20170212T105949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190129T042532Z UID:11722-1556236800-1556495999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Grassy Run Heritage Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2019 Grassy Run Heritage Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 28th Annual Grassy Run Heritage Rendezvous on April 26-28\, 2019 at the Williamsburg Community Park in Williamsburg\, Ohio.

Participants portrayed time periods from the 1600s through the end of the mountain-man era in the 1840s\, and even Plains-style teepee camps were common. In 2003\, responsibility for organizing the event shifted from a regional blackpowder club to the Friends of Fort Frederick\, who decided to honor the history of the region and limit the time period for portrayals to the 18th century. \nPublic Hours:\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm Thursday through Saturday\n9:00 am – 3:00 pm on Sunday \nPublic Admission: \nAdults – $5.00\nAges 6 to 12 – $2.00\nAges 5 and Under – free\n4-day passes available; contact the Park Visitor Center at 301-842-2155. \nLocation\nFort Frederick State Park\n11100 Fort Frederick Road\nBig Pool\, MD 21711 \nFor More Information:\nFort Frederick State Park: fortfrederick.statepark@maryland.gov 301-842-2155\nFriends of Fort Frederick: info@friendsoffortfrederick.info\nVolunteer Coordinator: George Michael gfmichael46@gmail.com 301-331-6939\nMarket Fair Committee Secretary Jenifer Scarisbrick 301-824-6512 \nFort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair Mini Gallery\n\n\n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”FORT FREDERICK MARKET FAIR SCHEDULE (Schedule may be subject to change)”]\nThursday\nAll Day – Visit the sutlers\, encampment and the fort.\nFriday\nAll Day – Visit the sutlers\, encampment and the fort.

All clothing\, camping gear and equipment used by participants must be appropriate to the time period from 1730 to 1790. Vendors must also meet these standards\, both in their clothing and equipment\, and in the wares offered for sale. First-time vendors are vetted in advance by the Friends of Fort Frederick Trade Committee before they are allowed to participate. \nThe 18th-century timeframe is in keeping with the event’s venue. The centerpiece of Fort Frederick State Park is a massive stone fortification that was built in 1756\, after the defeat of General Braddock exposed the western colonial frontier to attacks by the French and their native allies. \nDuring the Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair\, a contingent of reenactors portraying French and Indian War-era Maryland provincial troops man the fort\, live in the barracks and provide interpretive events for visitors. These men portray members of Alexander Beall’s and Joshua Beall’s companies of Maryland forces. During the Market Fair\, the troops have a schedule of exhibitions that they perform. You can watch marching demonstrations\, flag-raising ceremonies or demonstrations of 18th-century military music. \nCivilian reenactors and living historians of every type that you could have found in 18th-century society can be found at the Fort Frederick Market Fair. Most of the campers portray typical frontier types\, dressing and equipping themselves as hunters or scouts. There is also a large contingent that prefers to portray the higher strata of colonial society\, so that\, among the rough-and-tumble long hunters you’ll find powdered-wig aristocrats and evening-gowned ladies. There are also quite a few reenactors who portray Native Americans of the period. \nRogers’ Rangers at the Market Fair\nFort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair also serves as one of the largest gatherings of Rogers’ Rangers reenactors. Roger’s Rangers started as an independent company of light troops. Their job was to serve as scouts and skirmishers that operated well forward of conventional troops\, harassing the French and securing intelligence. They performed their work so well that\, by the end of the war\, Robert Rogers was a major leading a small battalion of his Rangers\, and the Rangers were the chief scouting unit for the British forces. Rogers’ Rangers are the direct ancestors of our modern U.S. Army Rangers. \nToday\, Rogers’ Rangers are primarily reenacted by members of Jaeger’s Battalion. Jaeger’s Battalion is a national\, colonial period historical reenactment group headquartered in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. This is one of the oldest reenacting groups in the country. The battalion serves as the umbrella group for the various state-based Ranger companies. At the Market Fair you will usually see Battalion Adjutant Bill Blair leading companies from Virginia\, Maryland and Pennsylvania\, and sometimes companies from much farther afield. \nColonial Commerce – It’s why you’re here!\nThe fort and the military reenactors are a major part of the event\, but the main draw at the Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair is the vendors. Expect about 150 vendors to set up shop selling their 18th-century goods. Events like this are essential to reenactors and living historians who need to outfit themselves with period-correct gear. \n \nIn addition to craftsmen\, there are vendors who offer the full range of 18th-century essentials. At Fort Frederick Market Fair\, you can fully outfit your person with 18th-century apparel from several excellent tailors. You could also buy every item you would need to outfit a comfortable camp\, from the tent all the way down to a colonial pot scrubber. And you can pick up all the muzzleloading gear you need\, from a custom rifle or musket to a handmade powder horn or a custom shooting bag. And\, if you don’t need any big-ticket items\, you’ll find a full range of small items like cleaning jags and forged screwdrivers. \nIn addition to the formal vendors\, you’ll find many reenactors offering a variety of gear for sale on informal “trade blankets”. Any camper may set up a blanket in front of their camp and offer goods for sale to passersby at Fort Frederick Market Fair. \nAbout Fort Frederick\nFort Frederick was one of the largest frontier fortifications built during the French and Indian War. It occupies an area of 1.5 acres\, and it was built to stand up to a major military assault. The fort’s massive stone walls are 4.5 feet thick at the base. Inside the fort\, two large barracks buildings face each other across the parade ground. The fort is open and inside the walls you can tour the two barracks buildings. They are furnished with sleeping quarters\, workshops and offices\, just as they would have been during the mid-18th century. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair in April (weekend from Thursday to last Sunday of month) at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland. \nTags: Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair\, 18th Century Market Fair\, Colonial Market Fair\, Fort Frederick Colonial Market Fair\, Fort Frederick Market Fair \nView other Market Fair & Trade Fair Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-frederick-18th-century-market-fair/ LOCATION:Fort Frederick State Park\, 11100 Fort Frederick Road\, Big Pool\, MD\, 21711\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Market Fair,Musters and Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Fort-Frederick-18th-Century-Market-Fair-31-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Frederick":MAILTO:info@friendsoffortfrederick.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190424 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190429 DTSTAMP:20260409T030047 CREATED:20170308T161351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T191039Z UID:12643-1556064000-1556495999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Bakersfield Muzzleloaders Peter Lebec Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2019 Bakersfield Muzzleloaders Peter Lebec Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 49th Annual Bakersfield Muzzleloaders Peter Lebec Rendezvous on April 24-28\, 2019 at the McCafferty Range near Weldon\, California.

The most likely theory of the mystery of Peter Lebec is that he was a fur trapper\, but not with a French Canadian company as was long suspected. It would appear that he was more likely a part of Jean-Baptiste Chalifoux’s gang of trappers and horse thieves from New Mexico who were known to be in the area in 1837. But local lore prevails. To this day\, a Peter Lebec Rendezvous is held each year to honor the mysterious frontier trapper. One thing is for sure: Lebec’s unfortunate encounter with a grizzly made him Kern County’s most famous mountain man. \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Bakersfield Muzzleloaders Peter Lebec Rendezvous at the McCafferty Range near Weldon\, California. \nTags: Bakersfield Muzzleloaders Peter Lebec Rendezvous\, Peter Lebec Rendezvous\, Peter Lebec Muzzleloaders Rendezvous\, California Rendezvous\, California Mountain Man Rendezvous \nView other Buckskinner Rendezvous URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/bakersfield-muzzleloaders-peter-lebec-rendezvous/ LOCATION:McCafferty Range\, Near Snow Street\, Weldon\, CA\, 93283\, United States CATEGORIES:California Rendezvous,Living History Events,Mountain Man Rendezvous ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Bakersfield-Muzzleloaders-Peter-Lebec-Rendezvous-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bakersfield Muzzleloaders":MAILTO:carlragsdale@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190424 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190430 DTSTAMP:20260409T030047 CREATED:20180104T150126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190102T113844Z UID:20610-1556064000-1556582399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Amarugia Rendezvous Spring Camp DESCRIPTION:2019 Amarugia Rendezvous Spring Camp\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the annual Amarugia Rendezvous Spring Camp on April 24-29\, 2019 at the Schatz Property in London Mills\, Illinois.

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-2017-08-19-2019-04-20/ 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:20190420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190421 DTSTAMP:20260409T030047 CREATED:20171125T192923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190125T073520Z UID:19821-1555718400-1555804799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Toulouse French and Indian War Encampment DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Toulouse French and Indian War Encampment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience early American history at the annual Fort Toulouse French and Indian War Encampment on April 20-21\, 2019 at Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson Park in Wetumpka\, Alabama.

Efforts to design and construct the memorial were led by Houston businessman Jesse H. Jones. The Monument is the tallest masonry column in the world. It is more than 12 feet taller that the Washington Monument. It weights approximately 70 million pounds. The star atop the Monument\, which symbolizes the Lone Star State\, is 34 feet tall and weighs approximately 220 tons. The Monument is faced with Texas Cordova shellstone\, a type of limestone noted for its creamy color and fossilized texture. \nAbout The San Jacinto Museum of History\nThe San Jacinto Museum of History was chartered in 1938 to “preserve and revisualize the history of early Texas.” The Museum’ s collection spans more than four centuries of early Texas history\, from the beginnings of European activity in the New World through Texas as a state in the United States. Emphasis is on colonial Texas as a part of Mexico\, the Republic of Texas\, and the early days of statehood.

The Battle of Fort Blakeley Reenactment will be one of the largest reenactments of Alabama’s largest Civil War battle held in several years. The event will feature reenactments of the intense skirmishing which took place along the lines at Blakeley during the week-long siege of the fort in April of 1865 and the last grand charge of the Civil War which resulted in its capture will highlight the day’s events. \n\nBattle of Fort Blakeley Reenactment\nAlso included will be guided tours of the park’s battlefield\, weapons demonstrations\, and a special exhibit of artifacts associated with the fighting at Fort Blakeley.

Gen. Francis Marion Cockrell’s defenders from four redoubts and other earthen fortifications. \nBefort the Battle of Fort Blakeley Reenactment\, it will be a living history encampment where both the federal troops and the Confederate troops will be working in the rifle pits and in the federal and Confederate works\, shoring up their shelters. Spectators will be shown some food demonstrations as well as digging in\, and there will probably some light skirmishes throughout the day as far as weapons demonstrations go. Starting at 10 a.m. and until about 3:30 p.m.\, the public will have an opportunity to tour the encampments\, see group demonstrations and talk to the individual soldiers. \nThe battle reenactment will cap off in the evening with a final assault that will be portraying the 83rd Ohio Regiment attacking Redoubt 4 and taking Redoubt 4\, which was manned by Cockrell’s Missouri Brigade.

Located in the valley of the Little Tennessee River\, near the Appalachian Mountains\, Fort Loudoun State Historic Area provides a glimpse of life during the time of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The future of the North American continent was in the balance as armies from France\, Spain and England fought for control of this land and it’s vast resources. Native Americans were caught up in this struggle as they strove to protect their homes and way of life. Fort Loudoun (1756-1760)\, in the heart of the Overhill Cherokee country\, played a part in that conflict which eventually laid the foundation for our nation we live in today.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nThe fort was reconstructed during the Great Depression and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The 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.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n\nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Loudoun Colonial Trades Garrison in March at historic Fort Loudon State Park in Vonore\, Tennessee. \nTags: Fort Loudoun Colonial Trades Garrison\, Colonial Trades Garrison\, Revolutionary War Reenactment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments\, Musters\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-loudoun-colonial-trades-garrison/ LOCATION:Fort Loudoun State Park\, 338 Fort Loudoun Road\, Vonore\, TN\, 37885\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fort-Loudoun-Colonial-Trades-Garrison-03-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Loudoun Association":MAILTO:fortloudoun@tds.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190316T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190317T160000 DTSTAMP:20260409T030048 CREATED:20170212T150403Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190105T145953Z UID:11744-1552726800-1552838400@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Cooper Days DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Cooper Days Seminole War Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the Fort Cooper Days Seminole War Reenactment on March 16-17\, 2019 at Fort Cooper State Park in Inverness\, 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-2017-08-19-2019-03-16/ 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:20190316 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190318 DTSTAMP:20260409T030048 CREATED:20170110T223307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181104T175350Z UID:10323-1552694400-1552867199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Kalamazoo Living History Show DESCRIPTION:2019 Kalamazoo Living History Show\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDon’t miss the 44th Annual Kalamazoo Living History Show on March 16-17\, 2019 at the Kalamazoo County Fair Grounds in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

This event is designed to be a rich experience for both participants and visitors. \nMajor Robert Rogers force of both volunteers from the 27th foot\, and his own rangers headed out on an extended scout from Fort Edward along Lake George\, following an attack on a similar patrol from Captain Israel Putnam’s Connecticut rangers. Hiking on snowshoes due to the three feet of snow\, the tracks of Roger’s force were spotted on its march up the west side of Lake George. Near the north end of Lake George\, Major Rogers’ advanced scouts spotted their French counterparts. Rogers and his Rangers took up positions in a ravine\, setting his force in ambuscade to await whatever French patrol would come to meet him. \nThe French patrol that met Roger’s men proved far larger than he imagined\, and in this Battle on Snowshoes\, the rangers’ ambush was itself surrounded and overwhelmed. In deep woods on deep snow\, the rangers were forced to retreat with heavy casualties as the French regulars\, malice\, and natives pressed home their attack. Despite brave stands along the way\, this retreat quickly became chaotic as rangers\, Roger’s included\, ran for their lives from superior numbers of French. \nThere was not just one\, but three Battles On Snowshoes.Every other year at Fort Ticonderoga\, visitors can witness the re-enactment of a savage battle fought between the British Rangers and French soldiers on March 13\, 1758\, as described above. \n \nHowever\, a prelude to this battle occurred near Fort Carillon (now Fort Ticonderoga) on January 21\, 1757. Similar circumstances were evident\, in which Rogers’ Rangers were ambushed by a mixed troop of French regulars\, Canadian militiamen\, and Indians during a scouting expedition. Although the British had a distinct advantage due to their snowshoes\, they were largely outnumbered\, suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat under the cover of darkness. \nThe third and final Battle on Snowshoes occurred on March 7\, 1759 directly across from Fort Carillon\, beginning with a skirmish line composed of Rogers’ Rangers and a number of Iroquois allies. They successfully ambush a French wood-cutting detail on the eastern shore and take five prisoners. This marked the close of Rogers’ overall expedition to make observations of the French defenses on the Carillon peninsula\, and to seize prisoners for information that would assist in General Amherst’s attack later that year. \nMark your calendar today for the Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment in January so you don’t miss this exciting French & Indian War event! \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment\, Fort Ticonderoga Living History\, Battle on Snowshoes Reenactment \nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\, History & Living History Daily Demonstrations URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-battle-on-snowshoes-reenactment/ 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/2016/09/Fort-Ticonderoga-Battle-on-Snowshoes-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190309 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190311 DTSTAMP:20260409T030048 CREATED:20160717T134343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181127T122657Z UID:6381-1552089600-1552262399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment on March 9-10\, 2019 in Florence\, South Carolina. The reenactment depicts an encounter that occurred on March 5\, 1865 when 500 federal soldiers\, under the command of Colonel Reuben Williams of the 12th Indiana Infantry\, marched into the Florence area to destroy the railroad depot. These federal troops were met by a group of Confederate soldiers who drove them away with the help of 400 reinforcements from the area home guard. \n\nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment\nBounty for Union SoldiersIn an effort to get more Federal soldiers\, we’re offering a $200 bounty for any group that can put 20 rifles on the field both days. The bounty is good for up to 3 groups. Out of state units will get preference. We still have the bounty for artillery\, see Garfield for that. And the bounty for cavalry. I think Petra is keeping up with that. \nThe Columns is a popular name for The Harwell House at Rankin Plantation\, a beautiful antebellum home that dates back over 100 years. The name refers to the 22 Greek style\, Doric columns that surround the home on three sides. The house was placed on the National Register of historic places in 1974. \nProceeds from Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment go towards historical preservation such as the 23rd History Scholarship\, the Florence Museum of Art\, Science and History\, the SC Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum at the SC State Museum\, and other worthy projects. \nAdmission$10.00 Adults$5.00 Students under 18FREE: Children under 12These funds will go directly to historic preservation or our scholarship at Francis Marion University. \nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n \nSkirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment Schedule (tentative)Thursday12:00 am Registration & Gates Open For Sutlers & ReenactorsFriday8:00 am Registration & Gates Open For Sutlers & Reenactors8:30 am Demonstrations For Area Students3:00 pm Demonstrations Conclude9:00 pm Officers Meeting\, The Commander’s Quarters9:00 pm All Vehicles To Be Out Of CampLate arrivals may unload and then move their vehicles to parking.Saturday7:00 am Reveille8:30 am Morning Parade9:00 am Camps Open To The Public9:15 am Company Drill\, Scenario Review9:30 am Battalion Drill2:00 pm Skirmish At Gambles Hotel3:00 pm Troops To Pass In Review5:00 pm Camp Closed To Public8:00 pm Barn Dance\, 1860’s Period Dress Please11:00 pm Tattoo & TapsSunday7:00 am Reveille8:30 am Morning Parade9:00 am Camps Open To The Public10:45 am Soldiers Chorus Rehearsal\, Barn11:00 am Church Service\, Barn1:30 pm Skirmish For Reenactors2:00 pm Skirmish At Gambles HotelThe event is over with the dismissal of troops after the end of the battle on Sunday.

It’s not hard to get one\, but you must contact Petra Darby at 803-518-1921 or by email at petradarby[@]yahoo.com (without the brackets). And please note. To offset the cost of insurance\, we’re asking 5.00 per child that attends. \nDirections to The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel ReenactmentTo program your GPS\, use 4789 East Old Marion Hwy\, Florence\, SC 29502 for a street address. \nThe event site is located near the intersection of Interstates 95 and 20\, about 25 miles below the NC state line. That makes it easy from just about everywhere. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Reenactor Information”]For The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment\, all usual amenities will be provided: water in the camp\, blue rooms at strategic locations\, plenty of hay in the barn\, and more firewood then you’ll be able to burn in a cold weekend! We have a barn dance on Saturday that has become renown. As it has always been\, there is no registration fee for reenactors. There will be about 20 sutlers there to get any gear you need. The city of Florence is only a few miles away and is large enough to accommodate any needs you may have. You may arrive as early as Thursday morning\, but be aware that we will have 1500 school children on Friday for the education program. \nEvery year we try to come up with something a bit different. If you attended the battle last year\, there’s a good chance you’ll see and do something different this year. \nDo you like to campaign? Get away from the hustle and bustle that goes on near the sutlers? Give me a shout. We’ve got no shortage of remote areas that would give the most hard core unit what they’re looking for. \nUnionists\, or good fellows who will wear a blue jacket – It’s only a six hour ride from the Mason Dixon line. We usually galvanize amongst ourselves\, but what a great opportunity for a federal unit to be spoiled at a fine event. Did you know it could be 80 degrees and sunny while a blizzard is blowing back home? Well\, it could! If you attended The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment just for a drill weekend\, you would surely mark it on your calendar for the following year. Contact Tom Grazioli at tom[@]associatedcomputer.cc (without the brackets) or call 843-455-2989 for more information. You can also check our bulletin board. \nArtillery – A bounty is being offered to guns that have been invited to The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment. Unfortunately we can’t give a stipen to every battery that might want to come. The money just isn’t there. We normally accommodate 10 guns. Contact John Nolan at johnnyrebsn2002[@]yahoo.com (without the brackets) for more information. \nCavalry – All horses\, donkeys\, and mules must have a current Coggins certificate. The farm works cattle across all the property that we use. When you arrive on site and register for the event\, you will have to show your certificate at that time. Do not bring an animal that does not have a current certificate. If you do\, you will be required to immediately remove the animal from the property. \nA bounty will be paid for each mounted trooper that participates. It’s $10.00 each day for each mount\, and $15 more if you do school day. It’s not a lot\, but we hope to cover the cost of your hay for the weekend. Collect your bounty at the mercantile after church on Sunday. \nThe Ball – Held on Saturday night in the top of the hay barn. The Crescent Moon Rounders will likely provide the music. And we keep a close eye on the hay lest we loose one of our men like the proverbial needle. Why they keep getting lost in there is a mystery to me\, but surely not to the fathers of the young ladies at the dance! \nOfficers Call – This will take place at 9:00 pm on Friday at the tent of Colonel Bruce Blackmon of the Palmetto Battalion. Make sure a representative of your unit attends to get more information and assignments as they will be determined at this meeting.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion][su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Spectator Information”]There is more than just the battle. The military and refugee camps are open and people are encouraged to visit and speak to the reenactors. The first person impressions are supposed to give you the experience of speaking to a person of that time and place. There is a cabin that would have been correct for field hands. You can expect cooking demonstrations. Sometimes we have candle makers and quilters demonstrating their skills. There’s always a blacksmith or two banging away at an anvil. \nThere are period merchants called “sutlers” that sell wares that would have been available at the time. There is also a varied selection of modern vendors selling food\, drinks and historically related items. \nThe house is usually open for tours. Those are conducted by the property owner separately from the event. Check at the gate as you arrive to see if any are planned.Be prepared to walk. The camps are about 100 yards from the battlefield. We do have handicapped parking close to the battlefield for those that require it. It doesn’t hurt to bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. We have an area in front designated just for people to sit. \nWhat time should you come in? The Skirmish At Gambles Hotel reenactment battle is at 2:00 in the afternoon. Skirmishing will begin even earlier. If I were you\, I’d get my lunch and take it down at 1:00 where I could get a good seat and eat while waiting. You will want to get to the site even earlier than that. Sometimes the line of cars will backup at the entrance. Come down at 11:00. Walk the camps and sutler row at your leisure. Get your lunch and mosey to the battlefield. It’s a pleasant way to spend a few hours and you might be surprised at what you’ll learn.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion]VendorsVendors and sutlers are by invitation only. We make an effort to limit the type of vendor so that there are not too many of any one kind. The fee for sutlers is $75. For modern vendors it’s $100. \nWe do not allow anything that is offensive or distasteful to be sold at your table or in your tent. We reserve the right to define what may be offensive or distasteful. If we find something objectionable\, you may be asked to remove it\, or you may be asked to leave the premises. \nWe set up the modern vendors closer to the house. Sutlers set up on one line facing the barn. Parking is really close\, less than a hundred yards from the most distant tent. There is adequate room for a camper to be set up\, but not enough to have a pavilion. There are no hookups. Generators are OK if they don’t bother anyone. If you prefer to stay in a hotel\, there is one at the 327 exit on 95\, just 7 or 8 miles away. And there are several more in Florence from 10 to 20 miles away. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment in March in Florence\, South Carolina. \nTags: Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Reenactment\, Skirmish At Gambles Hotel Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Living History \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/skirmish-at-gambles-hotel-reenactment/ LOCATION:Rankin Plantation\, 4789 East Old Marion Hwy\, Florence\, SC\, 29502\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Skirmish-At-Gambles-Hotel-Reenactment-01-850x567-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="23rd SC Infantry Civil War Reenactors":MAILTO:mikeking@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190302 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190304 DTSTAMP:20260409T030048 CREATED:20170111T042618Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190225T232005Z UID:10343-1551484800-1551657599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Old Town Trade Faire DESCRIPTION:2019 Old Town Trade Faire\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin the fun at The Old Town Trade Faire on March 2-3\, 2019 at the Greene County Fairgrounds Assembly Hall in Xenia\, Ohio.
