In 1860\, Nathan Williams\, whose family would maintain ownership for the next 51 years\, purchased the property. By this time the barracks had disappeared\, due to time as well as scavengers looking for a ready supply of lumber and nails. \nWith the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861\, the area around Fort Frederick once again became important militarily. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal\, which passes one-quarter mile south of the fort (the railroad did not yet exist on this side of the river)\, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the opposite (then Virginia) side of the river\, became focal points of defense for the Union Army. In December the 1st Maryland Infantry (U.S.) under the command of Colonel John Kenly\, was assigned to protect the canal and guard the fords and ferries of the Potomac River between Four Locks\, to the east\, and Cherry Run\, to the west. Company H of this regiment was ordered to occupy Fort Frederick. On Christmas Day\, 1861\, these troops fought a skirmish with Confederate Cavalry. The skirmish took place along the Potomac River below the fort and the Union troops guarding the river were successful in defending the canal\, but were not able to prevent Confederates from tearing up the railroad on the other side. On January 1\, 1862 another skirmish took place at the Fort\, as Union Troops again repulsed confederates attempting to tear up the railroad. \nFort Frederick continued to be occupied\, and in January 1862\, with the 1st Maryland being redistributed to guard points further west towards Hancock\, Company D replaced Company H here. These troops remained until the end of February\, when they\, along with others\, crossed the Potomac to guard the reconstruction of the B&O Railroad. Also during this period of time Union artillery was placed at the fort and was used against the Confederates in Virginia. \nThis is the last occurrence of the fort’s use by a military command. However\, the area around the fort remained vulnerable to Confederate Raiders through the rest of the war. Hence\, troops frequently passed near the fort and at times occupied grounds now encompassed by the state park. Most notable is October 1862 when a picket of the 12th Illinois Cavalry was assigned to the canal “immediately south of old Fort Frederick.” \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Frederick in the Civil War at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland. \nTags: Fort Frederick in the Civil War\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-frederick-in-the-civil-war/ LOCATION:Fort Frederick State Park\, 11100 Fort Frederick Road\, Big Pool\, MD\, 21711\, 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/2017/03/fort-frederick-in-the-civil-war-02-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Frederick":MAILTO:info@friendsoffortfrederick.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180929T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180930T170000 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20160611T024358Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180727T202722Z UID:5275-1538208000-1538326800@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough DESCRIPTION:2018 Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend\n\nRate This\nEvent\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nTouched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough on September 29-30\, 2018 (Charcoal burn begins 9/28) at Fort Boonesborough State Park in Richmond\, Kentucky. Join the groups gathered around a blacksmith as he carefully forges iron together into what will become an item of common use in 18th century Colonial America. As he works\, he takes questions from his audience at the Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough weekend. \nSee and learn about an ancient craft kept alive even to this day! During the preceding week\, blacksmiths will be here once again doing another Charcoal Burn: a week-long 24/7 project. If you have any interest in Blacksmithing\, particularly as it was in the 18th century\, we invite you to come to the Fort during Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough. If you would like to volunteer to assist in the Charcoal Burn\, email ftboone@bellsouth.net. Merchants and Traders are welcome to display and sell items used during the Colonial era. This event is free to the public with regular paid admission to the fort. \nBlacksmiths will share decades of experience in forging iron\, displaying their skills in front of the crowds\, taking questions as they work. In many cases\, much of that experience has come at events such as Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, and many return to the fort each year to take part. Learn about the tools a blacksmith uses to forge items\, like the anvil. Although the anvil\, like many of the Blacksmiths tools look simple\, they are not\, having been refined through thousands of years of experience to the most useful shape. \nLearn about the heat of the fire needed to make the iron workable\, about working the iron while it is the proper color and how the experienced blacksmith holds and strike the metal to get the best effect\, and how the first 15 seconds are when Blacksmiths can do the most work on a piece. Learn the importance of the Blacksmiths “time management.” \nBlacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, like other events at the fort\, are sponsored by The Fort Boonesborough Foundation. The Foundation is made up of a group of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to sustain\, foster\, and promote quality programming at Fort Boonesborough State Park and Boone’s Station Historic Site. \nAbout Fort Boonesborough\nRichard Henderson\, founder of the Transylvania Company in 1775\, chose Daniel Boone to head a party of 31 axe men to clear a path through the Cumberland Gap that would run from Long Island of the Holston River\, Tennessee\, to Otter Creek of the Kentucky River. Blazing the trail presented extraordinary difficulties – the route through the wilderness was a hunter’s trace that was too narrow for a wagon.  The task was to combine many trails into one continuous route by clearing underbrush and overhanging foliage. When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1\, 1775\, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky?s second settlement–the site still known as Fort Boonesborough. \nLocation\nFort Boonesborough State Park\n4375 Boonesborough Rd.\nRichmond\, Ky. 40475 \nFor more information about Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough\, contact Phone 859-527-3131 ext 216 or email alec.forman@gmail.com or ahenry@wittenberg.edu. \nMark your calendar so you don’t miss the next Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend at Fort Boonesborough in Richmond\, KY. \nTags: Touched by the Fire-Blacksmiths Weekend\, Kentucky Blacksmith Weekend\, Kentucky Blacksmith Event \nView other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/blacksmiths-weekend-at-fort-boonesborough/ LOCATION:Fort Boonesborough State Park\, 4375 Boonesborough Road\, Richmond\, KY\, 40475\, United States CATEGORIES:Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Touched-b-the-Fire-Blacksmiths-Weekend-fort-boonesboro-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Fort Boonesborough Foundation":MAILTO:bill.farmer@ky.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180929 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181001 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20180913T225421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180917T234106Z UID:27851-1538179200-1538351999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Return To Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend DESCRIPTION:2018 Return to Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the Return To Number 4: Revolutionary War Weekend on September 29-30\, 2018 at The Fort at No. 4 in Charlestown\, New Hampshire.

Penn’s Colony Festival is as unique among other festivals as the Pittsburgh region is to the nation. With an authentic focus on the French & Indian era\, that began with the 1753 journey of a 21-year-old George Washington through this region\, Penn’s Colony Festival weaves history into a colonial faire featuring a village filled with fine craftsmen. \n\nPenn’s Colony Festival\nEvents from Washington’s first\, and subsequent visits to this region\, led to the sparking of the French and Indian War which changed the course of history for America\, and the world. \nAt Penn’s Colony Festival\, the living history encampment presents re-enactors from the British\, Colonial\, Scottish\, French and Native groups which made their mark on this region during the pivotal years of the French & Indian War (1754-1760). The Encampments\, Battle Re-Enactments\, Skills Presentations and Hidden History Revelations tell the story of our region. \nPenn’s Colony Festival Marketplace is affordable quality that people trust.\nThe distinction of Penn’s Colony craftsmen is quality and variety in large number of artisans who gather once a year to showcase contemporary and traditional works for the home\, garden\, seasonal and holiday decor\, gifts and personal accessories. \nA mission for design integrity\, renewable and safe resources and American-made wares results in artisans and work that customers have trusted for 30 years. \nWhether you want a custom-made primitive kitchen cabinet\, leathersmiths handtooling an intricate design into belt\, a glass blower creating a globe ornament\, you will find it here. Among the Penn’s Colony Festival artisans you will see a potter at their wheel and a blacksmith at the forge. Watch a weaver magically reveal the colorful patterns of a floor rug on the loom. Or see how a spinner works with wool. \nYou’ll see beautiful inspired designs with the style and function you want. As an added value\, learn why these handmade in America products outperform the imports. For example\, why belts from retail stores “crack” or why our potter’s coffee mug is just more comfortable to hold. As you browse up and down one road to the next in the Penn’s Colony Village\, the experience of handmade quality will be repeated wherever you turn. \nIt is about how to find beautiful items for practically every need that are safe to use\, to wear and to enjoy. That’s why customers have trusted our artisans for 30 years. To us\, that’s the important story that never grows old at Penn’s Colony Festival and Folk Art Marketplace! \nWhen you arrive at Penn’s Colony Festival . . .\nPick up the festival handbill and look at the “Diversions and Amusements” schedule. There are three locations for the scheduled activities. Prepare thyself to step back in time… there’s always some Colonial demonstration and event popping up on the village streets that is unscheduled. And there are hands on children’s activities and craftsman demonstrations throughout the festival and throughout the day. \nTake a seat at The Crown Grant Theatre\nFrom entrance gates 2 and 3 just follow Bushy Run Road to the trees. Hear the rousing tunes of life and laughter from groups such as Pint and a Half\, and Celtic Shores. You’ll be amazed by all the 18th century circus performers\, Faire Wynds can do.

The military units we represent are the 1st North Carolina Volunteers (the Bethel Regiment) and the 11th North Carolina Regiment. This allows flexibility to adapt to any reenactment period and still remain historically correct. 1st NC Volunteers often coordinate their efforts with state and national historic sites and events\, such as the Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment. \nAbout The Battle of Fort Macon in 1862\nThe Siege of Fort Macon took place from March 23 to April 26\, 1862\, on the Outer Banks of Carteret County\, North Carolina. It was part of Union Army General Ambrose E. Burnside’s North Carolina Expedition during the American Civil War.\nIn late March\, Major General Burnside’s army advanced on Fort Macon\, a fort that commanded the channel to Beaufort\, 35 miles southeast of New Bern. The Union force engaged the fort with siege works and on April 25 opened an accurate fire on the fort\, soon breaching the masonry walls. Within a few hours the fort’s scarp began to collapse\, and in late afternoon the Confederate commander\, Colonel Moses J. White\, ordered the raising of a white flag. Burnside’s terms of surrender were accepted\, and the Federal troops took possession of the fort the next morning. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment in Atlantic Beach\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fall-fort-macon-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Macon State Park\, 2303 East Fort Macon Road\, Atlantic Beach\, NC\, 28512\, United States CATEGORIES:American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Macon-Civil-War-Reenactment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="1st NC Volunteers":MAILTO:LGordon3@nc.rr.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180915 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180917 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20160717T091954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180422T130449Z UID:6353-1536969600-1537142399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Trail of Courage Living History Festival DESCRIPTION:2018 Trail of Courage Living History Festival\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe 43rd Annual Trail of Courage Living History Festival will be held September 15-16\, 2018 at the Fulton County Museum in Rochester\, Indiana.

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 from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-09-16/ 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-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180907 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180910 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20160821T111026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180824T173801Z UID:7351-1536278400-1536537599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Calico Rock Mountain Man Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2018 Calico Rock Mountain Man Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe 2018 Calico Rock Mountain Man Rendezvous on September 7-9\, 2018 at Rand City Park in Calico Rock\, Arkansas is hosted by the Calico Rock Museum and Visitor Center.

Rendezvous were known to be lively\, joyous places\, where all were allowed- free trappers\, Indians\, native trapper wives and children\, travelers and later on\, even tourists who would venture from even as far as Europe to observe the festivities. Rendezvous are still celebrated as gatherings of like-minded individuals or clubs in many walks of life. The fur trading rendezvous are celebrated by traditional black-powder rifle clubs all over the US and Canada. These gatherings range from small gatherings sponsored by local clubs to large gatherings like the Pacific Primitive Rendezvous and others. These gatherings include much of the same activities of the originals\, centering on the shooting of muzzle-loaded rifles\, trade guns and shotguns\, the throwing of knives and tomahawks and primitive archery\, as well as cooking\, dancing\, singing\, the telling of tall tales and of past rendezvous.

The Corps performed at the Fort each summer until the beginning of World War II. When the World’s Fair came to New York City in 1939\, the Fife and Drum Corps was a featured performer on May 10th\, Fort Ticonderoga Day celebrating the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen\, Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys. \nIn 1973\, in preparation for the bicentennial\, Fort Ticonderoga revived the Fife and Drum Corps to perform daily during the museum campus’ summer season. The Fife and Drum Corps has performed every year since and has been featured performers at many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games\, the christening of the US Navy Guided Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47\, and several Evacuation Day parades in Boston\, Massachusetts. \n \nToday the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps is comprised of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga\, an independent not-for-profit educational organization. The Fife and Drum Corps is part of Fort Ticonderoga’s Interpretive Department whose focus brings to life Fort Ticonderoga’s specific history through daily interpretive programs\, historic trades and special events. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster at Historic Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga\, New York. \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster\, Fort Ticonderoga Fife & Drum Corps Muster\, Fife & Drum Corps Muster \nDaily Programs\, Activities & Demonstrations\nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\nHistory of Fort Ticonderoga\nMap of Fort Ticonderoga (pdf) URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-fife-drum-corps-muster/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/fort-ticonderoga-fife-and-drum-corps-muster01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180728 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180730 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20160720T165738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180420T151752Z UID:6480-1532736000-1532908799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster DESCRIPTION:2018 Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the Hale at the annual Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster on July 28-29\, 2018 at the historic grounds of the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry\, Connecticut.

The Corps consists of four units: the Field Music; Knowlton’s Connecticut Rangers; Capt. Stephen Buckland’s Artillery; and the Company of Artificers. The musicians are attired in the regimental uniform of Col. Charles Webb’s 19th Connecticut Regiment of Foot in which unit Capt. Nathan Hale served in 1776. Their commitment to authenticity has resulted in their having won the coveted recognition from the Company of Military Historians. Several of the muskets carried by the Rangers are actual Brown Bess Tower Muskets\, not reproductions! \nAbout the Nathan Hale Homestead \nThe Nathan Hale Homestead is the birthplace of Connecticut’s State Hero\, Nathan Hale\, who was hanged as a spy during the Revolutionary War. The house\, built in 1776\, belonged to Nathan’s parents and family\, and is located on the only site he ever called home. Its furnishings include several Hale family possessions and other collections amassed by Connecticut lawyer and philanthropist George Dudley Seymour\, who purchased the Homestead in 1914 and began a program of restoration that is largely preserved today. The Hale Homestead is situated on 17 acres\, adjoining the 1500-acre Nathan Hale State Forest\, lending to the site’s substantial rural character. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster in Coventry\, Connecticut. \nTags: Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster\, Hale at the Homestead Colonial Encampment and Muster\, Nathan Hale Ancient Fife and Drums\, Hale Ancient Fife and Drums Fife and Drum Muster\, Hale Ancient Fife and Drums Encampment Weekend \nView other Musters & Encampmenets URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/hale-at-the-homestead-revolutionary-war-encampment-musical-muster/ LOCATION:Nathan Hale Homestead\, 2299 South Street\, Coventry\, CT\, 06238\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Image21Hale-at-the-Homestead-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-04-900x600.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Nathan Hale Ancient Fifes and Drums":MAILTO:info@nathanhalefifesanddrums.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180728 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180730 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20170720T154225Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180123T130732Z UID:16991-1532736000-1532908799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Beginners Living History Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2018 Beginners Living History Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for the Annual Beginners Living History Rendezvous on July 28-29\, 2018 at the Seven Eagles Historical Education Center in Grand Rapids\, Ohio.

Highlighted programming featured throughout the weekend brings to life the surprising American retreat and British capture of Fort Ticonderoga in early July 1777. Experience the fog of war and smoky haze of battle as the American and British armies maneuver across this historic landscape. This two-day battle re-enactment will dramatically show how General Arthur St. Clair decided to evacuate Ticonderoga set the stage for British General John Burgoyne. \nFort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence takes place Saturday and Sunday\, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Admission to this re-enactment event is included in a Fort Ticonderoga’s general admission ticket. \n \nA Defining Story Brought to Life: During the Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence reenactment\, visitors will witness the intensity of battle as American soldiers retreat back from their entrenched camp under the intense British drive to capture the fortifications. They will discover the diverse forces that comprised this campaign and meet with soldiers of the two armies including the Royal Artillery\, the Rear Guard\, and the Continental Artillery. \nThis living history event and battle recreation will re-enact a careful chess game between the British Army and an entrenched Continental Army at Ticonderoga. Reprieved from a siege in 1776 by the onset of winter\, Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence faced General John Burgoyne’s northern army of British\, Loyalist\, and German soldiers in July 1777. General St. Clair’s rearguard of Massachusetts and New Hampshire regulars and militia put up a vigorous defense\, skirmishing in the hills and valleys around Ticonderoga. Artillery batteries built into the old French Lines seemed to keep the British army at by. Concealed by forest cover on the back slope of Mount Defiance\, British cannon were dragged to the summit. By July 6\, 1777\, British cannon high up on Mount Defiance\, aimed at the pontoon bridge between the two Forts of Ticonderoga and Independence\, forced the withdrawal of General St. Clair’s rearguard into the Hampshire Grants (Vermont). \n \nWhere a Goat Can Go\, A Man Can Go! Saturday evening at 6:30 pm a gun crew from the Royal Artillery will haul their cannon to the summit of Mount Defiance\, aiming at the Fort located below. Guests can witness the incredible feat and discover the details of this decisive stroke and witness a cannon demonstration in the evening light of the beautiful summit.

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 from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-07-15/ 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/2016/07/Fort-Taylor-Civil-War-Heritage-Days-10-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180714 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180716 DTSTAMP:20260409T130130 CREATED:20170322T032536Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180505T064429Z UID:13206-1531526400-1531699199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Repair to the Fort: Pontiacs Rebellion DESCRIPTION:2018 Repair to the Fort: Pontiacs Rebellion\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nJoin us for “Repair to the Fort: Pontiacs Rebellion” on July 14-15\, 2018 at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland.

Governor Sharpe of Maryland reactivated the fort\, which had ultimately been shut down after the French and Indian War\, and sent arms and militia to garrison it. Seven hundred area settlers flocked to the fort for protection. Although the Indians besieged the new English Fort Pitt\, which stood on Duquesne’s old site\, they never got close to Fort Frederick. Pontiac’s Rebellion was eventually put down\, and Fort Frederick again found itself abandoned. \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: call 301-842-2155; email fortfrederick.statepark@maryland.gov \nAbout Fort Frederick\nFort Frederick was one of the largest frontier fortifications built during the French and Indian War.
