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:20260409T063355 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:20260409T063355 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:20260409T063356 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.

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:20260409T063356 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.

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] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment on February 24-25\, 2018 at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment\, Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary\, Cherokee Attack Anniversary\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other War of 1812 Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-dobbs-cherokee-attack-anniversary-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Dobbs State Historic Site\, 438 Fort Dobbs Road\, Statesville\, NC\, 28625\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,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/2018/02/Fort-Dobbs-Cherokee-Attack-Anniversary-Reenactment-10-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Dobbs":MAILTO:info@fortdobbs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190223 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190225 DTSTAMP:20260409T063356 CREATED:20170320T143742Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181112T124310Z UID:13129-1550880000-1551052799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:To Garrison the Fort - Fort Frederick Winter Life F&I War DESCRIPTION:2019 To Garrison the Fort – Fort Frederick Winter Life\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nTo Garrison the Fort – Fort Frederick Winter Life: February 23-24\, 2019 at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland.

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. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next “To Garrison the Fort – Fort Frederick Winter Life F&I War” at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland. \nTags: To Garrison the Fort Fort Frederick Winter Life\, Fort Frederick Winter Life\, French & Indian War Reenactment \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/to-garrison-the-fort-fort-frederick-winter-life-fi-war/ 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,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Fort-Frederick-Garrison-Duty-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Frederick":MAILTO:info@friendsoffortfrederick.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190225 DTSTAMP:20260409T063356 CREATED:20170116T144223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181111T143236Z UID:10550-1550707200-1551052799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Frozen Toes Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2019 Frozen Toes Rendezvous at Fort Lupton\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the pre-1840 fur trade at the annual Frozen Toes Rendezvous on February 21-24\, 2019 at the South Platte Valley Historic Park in Fort Lupton\, Colorado.

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.

Sumter\, near Charleston\, SC took place in 1861 starting the American Civil War. While patriotic fervor swept California residents after this battle\, Volunteer Regiments\, recruited from pro-Union counties from the northern part of the state were sent to occupy pro-secessionist Southern California leaving Southern Californians powerless during the war. Although 17\,000 men from California participated in the War Between the States\, California’s contribution to the effort was of small scale. \nMark your calendar now so you won’t miss one cannon blast at the Calico Ghost Town Civil War Reenactment at the Calico Ghost Town in Yermo\, California next President’s Day Weekend in February. \n \nTags: Calico Ghost Town Civil War Reenactment\, Calico Ghost Town\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/calico-ghost-town-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Calico Ghost Town\, 36600 Ghost Town Road\, Yermo\, CA\, 92398\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Living History Events,Presidents Day,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Calico-Ghost-Town-Civil-War-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="American Civil War Society":MAILTO:President Dave Grimsrud - btdave@antelecom.net; Vice President Ken Dacey - kenbus@aol.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190215 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190218 DTSTAMP:20260409T063356 CREATED:20160718T120349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190201T113653Z UID:6413-1550188800-1550447999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Olustee Battle Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2019 Olustee Battle Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the 43rd Annual Olustee Battle Reenactment (aka Battle of Ocean Pond Reenactment) on February 15-17\, 2019 at the Olustee Battlefield State Park near Sanderson\, Florida.

The camps are everywhere. Many are strictly military\, others are civilian and still others are combined. Visitors/spectators are encouraged to visit the authentic camps\, wander among the campfires\, listen to the soldiers and civilians and ask questions. While you should not wander through the modern reenactor camps\, you are welcome to visit the authentic Federal (Union) infantry and civilian camps\, the combined Federal and Confederate cavalry and artillery camps\, and the Confederate infantry and civilian camps. \nOlustee Battle Reenactment Mini-Gallery\n \nSutlers are Civil War-era merchants. During the Civil War every regiment or brigade had a sutler licensed to follow along and sell “extras” to the men. These extras included food items\, such as cans of sweetened condensed milk (a favorite with the men); to clothing\, such as civilian-style shirts; to some items hidden away from the eyes of the Provost (military police). Olustee usually has 40-50 sutlers in attendance and these sutlers must pass inspection for the authenticity of their goods and appearance. \nDaily Olustee Battle Reenactment Schedule Summaries: \nFriday: Education DayFriday is the day when thousands of students invade the site with their teachers and parents to learn more about the Civil War. There are medical\, cavalry\, artillery and infantry demonstrations. Some students are here just to roam\, talk to the reenactors and absorb history. Others have definite history assignments they are working on\, everything from books to audio and photographic projects. If you wish your child to attend\, ask your school to contact the Florida Park Service at (386) 397-2733 or e-mail olusteecso@yahoo.com. Many home-schoolers bring their children to Olustee to absorb this period of our history.Saturday: Olustee Battle ReenactmentUnless you must witness the scripted Olustee Battle Reenactment\, Saturday is the best day for spectators. Not only do you have most of the day to visit the authentic camps and sutler area\, but the full-scale Saturday battle is not until 3:30 pm (or 2 hours later than on Sunday). In addition\, the crowds will be smaller than on Sunday. And after the battle\, why rush to wait in the lines at the bus pickup points when you can take your time ambling through the camps watching the reenactors rest up and clean their weapons after fighting and dying. \n \nAfter dinner\, many of the reenactors will be putting on their dress uniforms and gowns for the Reenactor’s Ball later that evening. The Ball is not open to the spectators and you will have left the event site long before it begins. Other reenactors will spend the evening campfire visiting\, telling tales of other events\, discussing the Civil War and just visiting with friends. The “sense of community” is strong among reenactors and many of us don’t see each other except for these events\, as our homes are distant from one another. But friendships are strong and campfire visits are the best time to meet with comrades: when officers and enlisted men\, from ditch diggers to bank presidents and even\, of all things\, entomologists\, share the warmth of the fire and a drink from a canteen (or other liquid containers). \nSunday: Olustee Battle ReenactmentPlan to arrive early on Sunday\, as the main event – the scripted Olustee Battle Reenactment\, is at 1:30 pm. If you want to see any of the camps or spend time at the sutler area you need to arrive early as you should really head toward the battle area about 12:30 at the latest. Arrive after this time and the best seats—there are only eight sets of bleachers—will be taken. Why not pack a picnic lunch and use the time waiting to enjoy it with your family. An authentic band will play Civil War music to entertain you while you wait. [Hint: Since this is a Federal defeat\, most of the action takes place on the Union side (east side) of the field. Find a seat on the ground there.] \nEven before the troops begin to assemble for Sunday’s Olustee Battle Reenactment\, many of them will take down their tents and pack their belongings. We all have a long drive home—especially those from the northern states—and after the battle we will be scattering to the four winds.

After the battle\, when the troops are breaking camp\, is the best time to visit the sutlers who usually stay until Monday. And when you have finished there\, the bus lines will be much shorter for the ride back to your car. \nMore Olustee Battle Reenactment Details:Why is it Important to Register at the Battle of Olustee?Links to all details for Reenactors\, Vendors\, Visitors\, etc.Where is he ReenactmentCapsule History of Battle \n \nMark your calendar today you don’t miss the next Olustee Battle Reenactment at the Olustee Battlefield State Park near Sanderson\, Florida. \nTags: Olustee Battle Reenactment\, Battle of Olustee Reenactment\,Battle of Ocean Pond Reenactment\, Olustee Battle Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/olustee-battle-reenactment/ LOCATION:Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park\, Sanderson\, FL\, 32087\, 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/battle-of-olustee-reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Olustee Battlefield Citizens Support Organization":MAILTO:olusteecso@yahoo.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190206T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190208T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T063356 CREATED:20160615T151659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181231T141804Z UID:5474-1549447200-1549630800@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:School Days at Fort Foster DESCRIPTION:2019 School Days at Fort Foster\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMake a date with your class for School Days at Fort Foster on February 6-8\, 2019 at Fort Foster State Historic Site in Thonotosassa\, Florida.

This battle was a major defeat for the Americans and was one of the bloodiest engagements during the War of 1812. The massacre of some wounded solders the following day shocked and enraged Americans throughout the Old Northwest Territory. This incident soon became known as “The River Raisin Massacre” and the rallying cry was “Remember the Raisin”. \nAnniversary Memorial Service Commemorates The Battles of the River Raisin\nEach January\, on the anniversary date of the battles\, a memorial service is held on the battlefield. This event commemorates the service of the Americans\, French\, British\, Canadians\, and Native Americans who fought at the River Raisin.

In November 1775\, Washington sent a 25 year-old bookseller-turned-soldier\, Henry Knox\, to bring heavy artillery that had been captured at Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. Knox knew the challenge before him as he wrote to George Washington on December 5\, 1775. \nThe garrison at Ticonderoga is so weak\, the conveyance from the fort to the landing is so difficult\, the passage across the lake so precarious\, that I am afraid it will be ten days at least before I can get them on this side. When they are here\, the conveyance from hence will depend entirely on the sledding; if that is wood\, they shall immediately move forward; without sledding\, the roads are so much gullied that it will be impossible to move a step. \nIn a technically complex and demanding operation\, Knox began the “Noble Train” in January 1776 at Ticonderoga and carried sixty tons of artillery through the dead of winter to Boston in just forty days. In March 1776\, these artillery pieces were used to fortify Dorchester Heights\, overlooking Boston and its harbor and threatening the British naval supply lifeline.

Mile Branch Settlement is open only twice each year during the Washington Parish Fair in the third week of October and during the Pioneer Christmas celebration\, held the first weekend of December. \n \nAbout 150 years ago\, a small community in Washington Parish would have looked a lot like this. These log cabin homes were built by real Louisiana pioneers. The historical Mile Branch Settlement is located on the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton\, LA. When a visitor steps through the unpainted picket fence and walks past the Richardson Gatehouse\, it is like entering another time period. A time where life coursed much slower like the bordering creek for which the settlement was named. You will find 19th century attired volunteers serving sassafras tea with gingerbread\, grinding corn into meal or grits\, cutting huge hoop-cheese slices\, and the extracting and cooking of cane syrup. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Mile Branch Settlement Christmas on the first weekend in December at the Mile Branch Settlement Christmas located at the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton\, Louisiana. \n \nTags: Mile Branch Settlement Christmas\, Mile Branch Settlement \nView Other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/mile-branch-settlement-christmas/ LOCATION:Mile Branch Settlement\, Par Rd 505\, Franklinton\, LA\, 70438\, United States CATEGORIES:Battle Reenactments & Encampments,History Festivals,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Mile-Branch-Settlement-Christmas-10-1000x667.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181130 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181202 DTSTAMP:20260409T063356 CREATED:20171120T134142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180724T122209Z UID:19638-1543536000-1543708799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Scott Massacre of 1817 Commemoration DESCRIPTION:2018 Scott Massacre of 1817 Commemoration\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the 201st Anniversary of the Scott Massacre of 1817 Commemoration on November 30 – December 1\, 2018 at River Landing Park in Chattahoochee\, Florida.
