Period reenactors set up tents\, don period dress and live as Clark and his troops lived — and they invite the public to interact with history. It’s really a way for the reenactors to share their knowledge and their love of history with visitors\, who can come and see history firsthand\,” Williams said. \nAbout Historic Locust Grove\nHistoric Locust Grove is located in Louisville\, Kentucky. Sitting high above the Ohio River the house was built in 1792 by William Croghan and his wife Lucy Clark Croghan. It was a bustling household that often became a gathering place for the other Clark siblings including both General George Rogers Clark and William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery and the many nieces and nephews of the large extended family. \nMark your calendar today so you won’t miss the next Locust Grove Revolutionary War Encampment at Historic Locust Grove in Riverwood\, Kentucky in April. \n \nTags: Locust Grove Revolutionary War Encampment\, Revolutionary War Encampment \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/locust-grove-revolutionary-war-encampment/ LOCATION:Locust Grove\, 561 Blankenbaker Lane\, Riverwood\, KY\, 40207\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Living History Events,Musters and Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/18th-Century-Thunder-Spring-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Historic Locust Grove Inc":MAILTO:lghh@locustgrove.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190425 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190429 DTSTAMP:20260430T140550 CREATED:20170318T035005Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190422T102110Z UID:13047-1556150400-1556495999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJourney to the past at the 25th Annual Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair on April 25-29\, 2019 at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool\, Maryland.

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.
