Don’t forget to mark your calendars. \nWhat is an 18th Century Market Fair?\nAmerican colonial times\, by definition were pre 18th century. This was literally when there were American colonies\, later becoming states. The Colonial Market Fair would then by that same definition be an 18th Century Market Fair. The early market fairs in the first settlements\, such as Jamestown and Williamsburg\, were allowed and regulated by law. The Williamsburg digital library has a lengthy article written in 1955\,\nEighteenth Century Fairs by Mary R. M. Goodwin that represents a collection of these early laws\, showing the transition of the earliest fairs to more and less regulated fairs\, that could be said are the colonial\, eastern version of what would become the Rocky Mountain fur trade and western redezvous between 1823 and 1840. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read more”]\nThe colonial fair was first and foremost a market “for the sale and vending of all manner of cattle\, victuals\, provisions\, goods\, wares\, and merchandizes.” Prizes\, “or bounties\,” were sometimes offered for the best stock and poultry. The fair was also a place where men met to make and pay debts. Land\, houses\, storehouses\, and personal property were offered for sale at fairs – privately and by public auction. Occasionally\, a lottery was drawn at a fair. \nA controlling idea regarding the earliest 18th century market fairs seems to be to maintain the control that England had on the flow and taxing of manufactured goods into America. Ultimately this would fail as America was too large and growing larger. Colonial boycotts of these finished English controlled goods (even tea which though not made in England was controlled by them) led to the development of early American manufacturing efforts. It has interesting ties now to contemporary issues in recent decades that has seen for the first time since these early colonial days\, a net outflow of American manufacturing capacity.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the annual Bucksnort Longhunters 18th Century Market Fair in Elizabethtown\, Kentucky. \nTags: Bucksnort Longhunters 18th Century Market Fair\, Bucksnort Longhunters Colonial Market Fair\, Colonial Market Fair\, 18th Century Market Fair \nView other Early American Market Fairs URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/bucksnort-longhunters-18th-century-market-fair/ LOCATION:Pritchard Community Center\, 404 South Mulberry Street\, Elizabethtown\, KY\, 42701\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Market Fair,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Bucksnort-Longrifles-18th-Century-Market-Fair-21-1000x667.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200118 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200120 DTSTAMP:20190521T175015Z CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190521T175015Z UID:21602-1579305600-1579478399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, 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-2017-08-19-2020-01-18/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-03-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200115 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200127 DTSTAMP:20200212T182844Z CREATED:20160820T211840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200212T182844Z UID:5463-1579046400-1580083199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Alafia River Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2020 Alafia River Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe Florida Frontiersmen host the 49th Annual Alafia River Rendezvous on January 15-26\, 2020 at their club property in Bartow\, Florida.  Early setup is January 15-17; Camp goes primitive at 5:00 p.m. the last day of early setup.

As part of the tradition\, the residents provide refreshments for the singers at each stop. La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres cosponsored by the Fort\, Les Amis\, and the Prairie du Rocher La Guiannee Society. The event is open and free to the general public. \nAround 7 PM each New Year’s Eve members of the La Guiannee Society begin to assemble in preparation for visiting local homes and businesses. The tradition of la guiannee was brought to Prairie du Rocher by the French who settled the area in the early 1700’s. Prairie du Rocher is the one of the only North American French Colonial settlements that have continuously carried on the tradition of la guiannee. \nUpon arrival at a local home or business the group sings two verses outside\, and then when invited in by the homeowner or business person the entire song is sung. After the singing has finished it is local custom that food and drink are offered to the singers. The group then proceeds on to the next stop. This process is repeated anywhere from 10-20 times that evening (depending on the number of stops). \nLocal legend has it that homes/businesses that are visited will have good fortune during the upcoming year. \nMark your calendar so you don’t miss La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres in Prairie du Rocher\, Illinois on December 31\, New Years Eve. \nTags: La Guiannee at Fort de Chartres\, La Guiannee Society\, Fort de Chartres \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events\nView Other Living History Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/la-guiannee-at-fort-de-chartres/ LOCATION:Fort De Chartres State Historic Site\, 1350 State Route 155\, Prairie du Rocher\, IL\, 62277\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,New Years Eve Historic Reenactment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/La-Guiannee-at-Fort-de-Chartres-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Les Amis du Fort de Chartres":MAILTO:lesamisdufortdechartres@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191223 DTSTAMP:20190521T175014Z CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190521T175014Z UID:20427-1576886400-1577059199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, 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/ 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;TZID=UTC:20191207T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20191208T160000 DTSTAMP:20191125T155336Z CREATED:20160403T161247Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191125T155336Z UID:3831-1575712800-1575820800@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Christmas Cracker Christmas DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Christmas Cracker Christmas\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoin us for a Fort Christmas Cracker Christmas on December 7-8\, 2019 at the Fort Christmas Historical Park in Christmas\, Florida.

As the army arrived in central Florida on Christmas Day\, 1837\, the stockade was aptly christened Fort Christmas. Fort Christmas is a typical Seminole Indian War fort\, made of tall pine pickets. The fort is 80 linear square feet\, with two block houses that are 20 square feet each\, with a storehouse and a powder magazine within the walls of the fort. The replica of Fort Christmas serves as a museum with exhibits focusing on the Second Seminole War and pioneer life in Florida.

The fort was reconstructed during the Great Depression and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. \nThe Fort Loudoun State Historic Park features a visitor center/museum\, reconstructed Fort Loudoun\, and stabilized ruins of Tellico Blockhouse (1794-1807). Fort Loudoun was constructed by the British Colony of South Carolina to ally the Overhill Cherokee Nation in the fight against the French and to guarantee that trade would continue between the Cherokee and South Carolina. \nBut relations between South Carolina and the Cherokee Nation broke down and the Cherokee captured Fort Loudoun and its garrison. It is thought that the Cherokees destroyed the fort shortly thereafter. The blockhouse served as a gateway (with passes required) into Cherokee land\, a trading post\, and a factory to teach new skills to the Cherokees. \nPicnic tables\, fishing pier\, hiking trails and boat dock are available. Boat launching ramps are available off site. The Historic Area hosts many seasonal events\, such as Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekends with reenactors\, an 18th Century Trade Faire\, and student field trips. \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekend at Fort Loudoun State Park in Vonore\, Tennessee. \nTags: Fall Fort Loudoun Garrison Weekend\, French & Indian War Reenactment\, Fort Loudoun King George II Birthday Garrison Weekend \nView other French & Indian War Reenactments and Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fall-fort-loudoun-garrison-weekend/ LOCATION:Fort Loudoun State Park\, 338 Fort Loudoun Road\, Vonore\, TN\, 37885\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,French & Indian War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Fort-Loudoun-State-Historic-Park-04-850x567-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Loudoun Association":MAILTO:fortloudoun@tds.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191109 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191110 DTSTAMP:20181113T102837Z CREATED:20181113T102320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181113T102837Z UID:29809-1573257600-1573343999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Dobbs North Carolina Military Timeline DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Dobbs North Carolina Military Timeline\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrate Veteran’s Day at the annual Fort Dobbs North Carolina Military Timeline on November 9-10\, 2019 at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville\, North Carolina.

Dobbs State Historic Site provides a window into the tumultuous period of history known as the French and Indian War (1754-1763) or Seven Years War.

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. \n \nReconstruction of Fort Dobbs\nSoon after protecting the site of Fort Dobbs in 1909\, the Daughters of the American Revolution recognized the need to reconstruct the blockhouse. Following initial archaeological investigations in the 1960’s and ’70’s the site became a State Historic Site\, but with several key questions about the original structure still unanswered\, no immediate reconstruction effort was planned.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nIn 2003\, the reincorporated non-profit Friends of Fort Dobbs took up the vision of then-site manager Beth Hill to begin an effort to rebuild. More than a decade of hard work ensued. The Friends undertook a fundraising campaign to fund the effort and co-operated with State officials\, historians\, historic building specialists\, architects\, and noted archaeologist Dr. Larry Babits to develop feasible\, historically sound plans and the capital needed to make Fort Dobbs stand on the banks of Fourth Creek once again. \nFollowing several other facility improvements to the site\, ground was broken for the new fort in August of 2016. A mix of modern and 18th Century construction techniques have been employed to meet the challenge of building a structure that must simultaneously meet modern building standards while also approximating an entirely hand-build piece of military engineering from 260 years ago. We hope\, with your support\, to have Fort Dobbs open as a living history exhibit on a grand scale by early 2019![/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Dobbs North Carolina Military Timeline in November on Veteran’s Day Weekend at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville\, North Carolina. \n \nTags: Fort Dobbs North Carolina Military Timeline\, Fort Dobbs Military Timeline\, Civil War Reenactment\, French & Indian War Reenactment\, Revolutionary War Reenactment\, War of 1812 Reenactment \nView other US Military Timeline Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-dobbs-north-carolina-military-timeline/ LOCATION:Fort Dobbs State Historic Site\, 438 Fort Dobbs Road\, Statesville\, NC\, 28625\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,History Timelines,Living History Events,Same week in month,Veteran's Day,Veteran's Day Historic Reenactments ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Fort-Dobbs-North-Carolina-Military-Timeline-10-1350x900.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of Fort Dobbs":MAILTO:info@fortdobbs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191106 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191110 DTSTAMP:20191027T155707Z CREATED:20160927T123433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191027T155707Z UID:8540-1572998400-1573343999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Toulouse Alabama Frontier Days DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Toulouse Alabama Frontier Days\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nStep back in time at the Fort Toulouse Alabama Frontier Days on November 6-9\, 2019 at historic Fort Toulouse in Wetumpka\, Alabama.

Morris acted as a farmer\, ship owner\, miller\, iron-master\, shop-owner\, and owner of the mill now known as Mather Mill. Hope Lodge is an excellent example of early Georgian architecture\, and it is possible that Edmund Woolley\, architect of Independence Hall\, offered advice in building. Samuel Morris owned the estate until his death in 1770\, when it was inherited by his brother Joshua. Joshua in turn sold the property and dwelling to another Philadelphia merchant\, William West. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next 1777 Whitemarsh Encampment ((Hope Lodge Encampment)) on the first weekend of November at the Hope Lodge Mansion in Fort Washington\, Pennsylvania. \n \nTags: 1777 Whitemarsh Encampment\, Hope Lodge Encampment\, Historic Hope Lodge Encampment Reenactment\, Hope Lodge \nView other Revolutionary War Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/1777-whitemarsh-encampment/ LOCATION:Hope Lodge Mansion\, 553 S.

The annual event takes place on the last weekend of October\, transforming the picturesque grounds of the Locust Grove Estate into an interactive living history exhibit offering an unforgettable experience. The two-day 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove features staged battle reenactments between British and American troops\, historically accurate arts and crafts from blacksmiths and Georgian age crafters and roaming historians filled with information and anecdotes that are great for all ages. \n\n18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove\nJoin with Locust Grove and the Illinois Regiment of Virginia as they bring the spirit of the past alive with the 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove. You can participate in 18th c. style entertainment\, purchase replicas of 18th century military and household items\, enjoy food and drink as our founders did\, meet and converse with early Americans. Mock battles for our country’s independence feature General George Rogers Clark’s own company\, the Illinois Regiment of Virginia\, as well as British Dragoons and Marines\, and German Hessians. \nExperience Historic Locust Grove as it comes alive with the sounds of chatting and bargaining\, the smells of wood smoke and gunpowder\, and all the sights you would expect from a Market Fair set in the 1780s. Visitors will be able to converse with men\, women\, and children about life during the final years of the War for Independence\, tour the house\, perhaps join in a militia drill or two\, learn songs and games from the period\, and of course\, shop at all the booths and tents that will spring up on the grounds! Over 25 vendors will be selling their period wares\, from pottery to spoons to bread to bonnets. The property is divided between the Americans and the British\, so be sure to take a tour of both camps to see and hear both sides of the story. \nMarket Fairs seem special to us today\, but they were commonplace in Colonial America. Markets held in town squares or other designated marketplaces allowed far-flung members of the community to come into nascent towns to buy\, sell\, and trade goods and gossip. Markets helped communities to grow and towns to be more firmly established\, with permanent stores and other trappings of civilization. \nHere at Locust Grove\, Market Fair is treated in much the same way as in the 1780s. The community has grown a great deal since the founding of Louisville in 1778\, and they enjoy this time to catch up with neighbors and friends. The 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove offers an opportunity to check in on that earlier era\, and immerse yourself in the daily activities of those who have come before us. Like Market Fairs of old\, there is something for everyone. Market Fair is a rain or shine event\, and there is plenty to do under cover even if we have some showers. \n18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove Mini Gallery\n\n \nConcessions available.
