If you’re suffering from cabin fever and are up for a challenge\, come to the St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon and match your black powder shooting and snowshoeing skills against some of the toughest competitors in the North East – or – take it a little slower as a woods walk. \nParticipants are encouraged to wear historic clothes covering 1750 to 1812. Fort de la Présentation was one of a handful of French colonial forts in New York State. Forsyth’s Rifles from Ogdensburg re-enacts a U.S. Army regiment posted in Northern New York during the War of 1812; from the French and Indian War period\, they portray a unit of French marines. \nThose hardy souls participating in the Snowshoe Biathlon will run a one and a half mile course\, stopping at each of 5 stations and firing 2 shots; at the 6th and final station\, there’s an optional tomahawk throw. Runners or woods walkers using a traditional muzzleloader will complete the course on traditional wood-framed snowshoes. \nThree Divisions: Primitive Rifle\, Primitive Smoothbore and Modern In-Line. Competitors in the primitive divisions must run the course on traditional\, wooden snowshoes\, while in-line shooters have the option of using wooden or modern snowshoes. Snowshoes must be carried if there is light snow cover. \nThe St. Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is modeled after the popular Smugglers’ Notch Primitive Biathlon and is one of several biathlons scheduled across New York and New England each year. \nA modern class will be open to shooters using in-line muzzleloaders and modern snowshoes. All shooters must use firearms with open sights. \nThe St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is sponsored by the Fort La Présentation Association and Forsyth’s Rifles. \nHours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM. \nLocation\nSt Lawrence Valley Sportsman’s Club\n25 Sportsman’s Club Road\nOgdensburg\, NY 13669 \nFor More Information: Fred Hanss\, Chairman: Email fhanss@twcny.rr.com \nWhat is a Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon?\nPrimitive Snowshoe Biathlons\, unlike modern snowshoe biathlons with olympic-style target rifles and cross-country skis\, involve the use of muzzleloading rifles and snowshoes. Eligibility for overall prizes is limited to single-barrel traditional style muzzleloaders – no in-lines or optical sights – and traditional wood-framed snowshoes\, although modern equipment users are welcome to participate in separate competition classes. In the primitive spirit of the event\, and in the interest of fairness\, the use of round-ball ammunition is requested. Period dress is definitely encouraged\, though not required. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon the first weekend in March in Ogdensburg\, New York. \nTags: St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon\, Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon \nView other Primitive Snowshoe Biathlons & Related Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/st-lawrence-valley-primitive-snowshoe-biathlon/ LOCATION:St Lawrence Valley Sportsmens Club\, 25 Sports Club Road\, Ogdensburg\, NY\, 13669\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Living History Events,Primitive Snowshoe Biathlons,Same week in month,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/St-Lawrence-Valley-Primitive-Snowshoe-Biathlon-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort La Presentation Association":MAILTO:barbokeefe3@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200222 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200224 DTSTAMP:20260511T065201 CREATED:20170222T143113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T112519Z UID:12115-1582329600-1582502399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2020 Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCannon and musket fire will mark the Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment on February 22-23\, 2020 at the former site of Fort De La Peesentation in Ogdensburg\, New York. Sponsored by Forsythe’s Rifles\, Prescott and Ogdensburg will commemorate the War of 1812 Battle of Ogdensburg with activities in both communities over the weekend. This will be an expanded re-enactment\, as thrilling as the original battle\, only safer. On Saturday afternoon\, the Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment will take place along the streets\, following a similar route of the Anglo-Canadian army in 1813 as it fought toward the fort on Lighthouse Point. \n\nBattle of Ogdensburg Reenactment\nWatch as the British once again charge down the streets of Ogdensburg as militia and regular soldiers commanded by Major Benjamin Forsyth stage their last and ultimately failed attempt to repel the redcoats from the city. \nWearing full winter gear and braving the bitter cold\, the 7/60th will participate in the annual Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment event by fighting on the same ground contested two centuries ago. For two nights the group will be quartered in the barracks at Fort Wellington National Historic Site in Prescott\, Ontario\, and will cross the St. Lawrence River (albeit by car and bridge) during the days to participate in the battles. \nThe first battle reenactment will be held in the streets of downtown Ogdensburg with a special emphasis on the last stand of St. Lawrence County Sheriff Joseph York\, a member of the local militia who attempted to single-handedly repel the British at the intersection of State and Ford streets. When the British spotted Mr. York alone in the streets\, their officers commanded the soldiers not to fire. Regarding him as “too brave to kill\,” the British captured him instead. The rest of the militia was either killed\, captured or melted back into the community. \nOn Sunday the action will move to Lighthouse Point\, where a fierce battle was fought that forced troops commanded by Major Forsyth to retreat to Sackets Harbor. The battle at Lighthouse Point saw hundreds of British soldiers cross the frozen St. Lawrence River from Prescott\, Ontario\, to surround the Americans. \nBesides the battles there will be a number of other activities for children and adults during the reenactment. \nSchedule (Tentative) \nSaturday – The return of the invasion of the British to Ogdensburg in 1813. \n10:00 am to 4:00 pm – Open house at the AmVets Lodge\, 215 Ford Street featuring historical displays\, lectures\, and refreshments. \n11:00 am War of 1812 presentation \n1:30 pm – Battle Reenactment: Downtown Ogdensburg will once again erupt with musket and cannon fire at the reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg on the very places it was fought 200+ years ago. \n3:00 pm – English country dance demonstration at the National Guard Armory. \n7:30 pm – If you enjoyed the demonstration get into the action at the\, English country dance Winter Ball at the Am-Vets on Ford Street. \nSunday\n10:30 am – Wreath laying at Ogdensburg cemetery. \n1:30 pm – Battle Reenactment: Conclusive reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg at Van Reselaer Point (Lighthouse Point) the former site of Fort De La Peesentation\, also known as Fort Oswegatchie. \nLocation\nFort de La Présentation\n323 Washington Street\nOgdensburg\, NY 13669 \nFor more information: tcryderman1@twcny.rr.com \nAbout the Battle of Ogdensburg\nOn 22 February 1813 the British garrison of Prescott\, Upper Canada launched a surprise assault across the frozen St. Lawrence River against the opposite American post at Ogdensburg\, New York. Catching the Americans unprepared by first pretending to drill upon the ice (a frequent practice in winter)\, the mixed force of British regulars and Canadian militia achieved a decisive victory\, eliminating the American military presence in the town and the threat they posed to the British supply route along the St. Lawrence since the beginning of the War of 1812. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment in Ogdensburg\, New York. \nTags: Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment\, War of 1812 Reenactment\, Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment \nView other War of 1812 Encampments & Reenactments URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-ogdensburg-reenactment/ LOCATION:Downtown Ogdensburg\, 323 Washington Street\, Ogdensburg\, NY\, 13669\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Living History Events,Same week in month,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Battle-of-Ogdensburg-Reenactment-02-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Forsyths Rifles Inc":MAILTO:tcryderman1@twcny.rr.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191019 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191021 DTSTAMP:20260511T065201 CREATED:20160703T174425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181226T125559Z UID:6035-1571443200-1571615999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Massac Encampment DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Massac Encampment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe 45th Annual Fort Massac Encampment on October 19-20\, 2019 at Fort Massac State Park in Metropolis\, Illinois will feature the thunderous boom of cannons and a tempting assortment of foods and activities from which to choose.

This is the same area where John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company\, which was chartered in 1808\, had its post in Sault Ste. Marie. It is the very site where Fort De Repentigny was constructed to provide refuge for French voyageurs in 1750\, and where\, in 1822\, Colonel Hugh Brady arrived with Henry Rowe Schoolcraft and established Fort Brady. Before all that\, it was the main gathering place of the Anishanaabeg where the adjacent land served as the Wadjiwong (Great Hill) Ancient Burial Grounds; one of the earliest known Anishinaabeg graveyards. \nFor More Information: Angie Patterson Email: apatterson@sault.com Phone: (906) 632-5734 \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Rendezvous in the Sault at the City Hall Grounds in Sault Ste Marie\, Michigan. \n \nTags: Rendezvous in the Sault\, Voyageur Rendezvous in the Sault\, Michigan Voyageur Rendezvous\, Michigan Rendezvous \nView Other Michigan Rendezvous URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/rendezvous-in-the-sault/ LOCATION:Sault Ste Marie City Hall Grounds\, 225 E Portage Ave\, Sault Ste Marie\, MI\, 49783\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,French & Indian War Reenactment,History Festivals,Living History Events,Michigan Rendezvous,Mountain Man Rendezvous,Same week in month,Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Rendezvous-in-the-Sault-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chippewa County Historical Society of Michigan":MAILTO:ChippewaHistory@outlook.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190704T020000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190704T170000 DTSTAMP:20260511T065201 CREATED:20160620T100425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181107T183716Z UID:5645-1562205600-1562259600@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Meigs Independence Day DESCRIPTION:2019 Fort Meigs Independence Day\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive July 4\, 1813 at Fort Meigs Independence Day celebration on July 4th each year at historic Fort Meigs in Perrysburg\, Ohio.

This was a defining moment in the history of our state and nation. The First Siege of Fort Meigs was a pivotal fight that would help turn the tide of war and usher in a series of American victories that would secure the Ohio frontier. General William Henry Harrison wrote that day\, “It is at length reduced to certainty that the enemy are about to carry into effect their threatened attack on this post” and urged his men “To your posts then\, fellow Soldiers\, and remember that the eyes of your Country are upon you!” \n \n\nAt 2 o’clock in the morning the British opened their artillery upon our garrison from their gun-boats… At 8 o’clock they hoisted the red flag at their lower battery and commenced firing with 24-\, 12- and 6-pounders\, and eight inch mortars. They fired at us this day 240 shot and shells; did very little damage. They continued firing shells through the night but not often\, just enough to keep our camp from rest. We keep up a heavy fire on them all day from different parts of our camp. \n~ Captain Daniel Cushing\, 2nd Regiment\, U.S. Artillery – May 1\, 1813 \n\nAbout Fort Meigs & Fort Meigs Events \nLocation\nFort Meigs\n29100 W.

Join the many participants from Michigan\, Ohio\, Kentucky and Canada\, along with Native Americans and residents of Monroe Michigan as we remember this bloody battle and massacre that took place on January 22-23\, 1813. \nThe commemoration is held on the very ground along the River Raisin where hundreds of lives were lost in a struggle for freedom and sovereignty during the early years of the United States. \n\nBattles Of The River Raisin Reenactment\nBattle of Frenchtown (AKA The Battle of the River Raisin)\nThe Battle of Frenchtown (Battle of the River Raisin in Monroe Michigan) was the largest battle fought on Michigan soil. 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. During this service\, uniformed living historians representing the soldiers of the War of 1812\, place a wreath on the ground that was the scene of the heaviest fighting and fire ceremonial salutes in honor of those who fell here. \nTENTATIVE SCHEDULE:\nSaturday\n9:00 a.m. Presentation at the River Raisin National Park Education Center\n11:00 a.m. Tactical Musket and Cannon Demonstration at Education Center\n12:00 p.m. Remembrance Ceremony at Education Center\n2:30 p.m. 1812 Program at the Monroe Historical Museum\, 126 S.

Lacroix’s company of Volunteer Infantry of the Michigan militia was mustered into service on May 18\, 1812. Their period of active duty lasted just 2 months and 30 days\, until General Hull’s surrender of Detroit and all of Michigan Territory on August 16 of that same year. \n \nNow\, over two centuries after the War of 1812\, Lacroix’s company of Michigan militia is once again on the march every year at the Battles of the River Raisin Reenactment. Sponsored and supported by the River Raisin Battlefield Visitor Center and the Friends of the River Raisin Battlefield\, modern-day company members research and reproduce many aspects of the life and times of the original unit. The company now is made up of volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the living memory of our community’s past by recreating\, as best we can\, the clothing\, activities\, and skills of the early inhabitants of the historic River Raisin settlement. We have been named the official War of 1812 Bicentennial Re-enactment unit by both the City and County of Monroe\, Michigan.

Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (commonly known as “The Prophet”) were leaders of a confederacy of Native Americans from various tribes that opposed US expansion into Native territory. As tensions and violence increased\, Governor Harrison marched with an army of about 1\,000 men to disperse the confederacy’s headquarters at Prophetstown\, near the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nTecumseh\, not yet ready to oppose the United States by force\, was away recruiting allies when Harrison’s army arrived. Tenskwatawa\, a spiritual leader but not a military man\, was in charge. Harrison camped near Prophetstown on November 6 and arranged to meet with Tenskwatawa the following day. Early the next morning\, however\, warriors from Prophetstown attacked Harrison’s army. Although the outnumbered attackers took Harrison’s army by surprise\, Harrison and his men stood their ground for more than two hours. The Native Americans were ultimately repulsed when their ammunition ran low. After the battle\, they abandoned Prophetstown and Harrison’s men burned it to the ground\, destroying the food supplies stored for the winter. The soldiers returned to their homes. \nHarrison\, having accomplished his goal of destroying Prophetstown\, proclaimed he had won a decisive victory. He gained the nickname “Tippecanoe”\, which was popularized in the campaign song “Tippecanoe and Tyler too” during the presidential election of 1840\, which Harrison won. The defeat was a setback for Tecumseh’s confederacy from which it never fully recovered.[3][4] \nAmerican public opinion blamed the violence on British interference in American affairs through financial and munitions support for the Indians. This led to a further deterioration of relations with Britain and was a catalyst of the War of 1812\, which began six months later. By the time the US declared war on the United Kingdom in June 1812\, Tecumseh’s confederacy was ready to launch its war against the United States in alliance with the British. In preparation\, the Natives soon rebuilt Prophetstown. Frontier violence in the region would continue until well after the War of 1812\, although Tecumseh was killed in 1813 during the Battle of the Thames.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Tippecanoe Commemoration in November on Veteran’s Day weekend at the Tippecanoe Battlefield in Battle Ground\, Indiana. \n \nTags: Battle of Tippecanoe Commemoration\, Commemoration of Battle of Tippecanoe\, War of 1812 Reenactment\, Indiana Living History \nView other War of 1812 Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-tippecanoe-commemoration/ LOCATION:Tippecanoe Battlefield\, 200 Battle Ground Avenue\, Battle Ground\, IN\, 47920\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Indian Wars,Same week in month,War of 1812 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Battle-of-Tippecanoe-Commemoration-03-1000x667.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Tippecanoe County Historical Association":MAILTO:General Information: mail@tippecanoehistory.org or Feast Information: feastinfo@tippecanoehistory.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20181103T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20181104T160000 DTSTAMP:20260511T065202 CREATED:20160703T100854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180912T161146Z UID:6013-1541235600-1541347200@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Muster on the Wabash DESCRIPTION:2018 Muster on the Wabash\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive an authentic War of 1812 encampment at the 198th Annual Muster on the Wabash on November 3-4\, 2018 in Vincennes\, Indiana.
