History of Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
Spanish explorers first surveyed the island of Key West in 1513. 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.
Cannon and Arches
Union 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.
Fort Moat
Soon 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.

Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School
2018-05-19 09:00 - 2018-05-20 16:00 UTC | Old Fort Niagara – Standing Guard Since 1726, 102 Morrow Plaza, Youngstown, NY, 14174, United States
2018 Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School

Rate This Event

Civil War cannons roar at Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School on May 19-20, 2018 at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, New York. Civil War soldiers garrison the Fort and fire cannons during the afternoon at the Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School. The event is sponsored by Reynolds Battery 1st New York Light Artillery.
Although Fort Niagara was far from the action during the war, it nonetheless saw activity during the conflict. Paroled Union soldiers captured near Mesilla, N.M., arrived at the fort in December 1861 and remained there until October 1862. Later, the fort’s walls were strengthened against a feared British attack from Canada in support of the Confederacy. The fort’s massive brick walls and sturdy underground casemates date from this period.
This Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School training weekend, whether you wear blue or gray the school is dedicated to one simple goal: the training of reenactors in the safe portrayal of their branch. To a lesser degree, it is the hope that, in brotherhood, we can continue to strive to make this hobby enjoyable and accurate to ourselves, our comrades, and the public. Except for general formations for colors, award presentations, and guest speakers, the Fort will be garrisoned, scheduled, administered, and certified by staff from their own school. In other words, the infantry will run the skirmish school, the artillery will run the artillery school, and so on.

About Reynolds’ Battery 1st New York Light Artillery
Each year the Battery attends events throughout New York State and national events in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. Reynolds’ Battery L, 1st New York Light Artillery is chartered by the New York State Board of Education with the stated purpose and objectives to inform, instruct and educate the public
as to the life and trials of a Civil War Artillery soldier during the 1860s. In recognition of the training provided by the Battery to its members and the Reenactment community the 2012 George MacDonald Award for Outstanding Service was presented to Richard Henderson and John Beatty with Reynolds Battery.
History of Reynolds’ Battery 1861 to 1865
After the disaster at Bull Run, President Lincoln put out a call for 300,000 more men for service. The Rochester Union Grays, a New York Militia regiment at the time, answered the call. Recruiting was done by John A. Reynolds, Edwin Loder and Charles Anderson, and men from Monroe, Ontario and Wayne counties flocked to the recruiting offices to join the artillery regiment.
On October 8, 1861, 81 men and officers swore an oath to the Union and were mustered into federal service while stationed in Elmira, NY. Under the direction of the State of New York, twelve artillery companies were formed with Reynolds’ Battery given the designation of Company L. They transferred to Albany on November 14, the training ground for all NY State Artillery, having reached full strength of 115 men. On November 23, 1861 Company L reported for duty at Camp Barry, Washington, D.C. under the command of Captain John A. Reynolds. John Reynolds used his own personal funds as a guarantee to secured the first six Model 1861 3” Ordnance Rifles from the Phoenix Iron Works. These guns would not arrive until May 1862, but would bring a great deal of fame for Reynolds’ Battery as being the only battery in US Service to have the first six consecutive guns in any series of any cannon in their battery. On February 23, 1862, Reynolds’ Battery was assigned to Baltimore, Maryland to guard the Capital. After six months of waiting, they were called into action at Harper’s Ferry.
About Old Fort Niagara
Old Fort Niagara has dominated the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. In American hands since 1796, Fort Niagara was recaptured by the British in 1813, and then ceded to the US a second time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today, visitors can discover an amazing collection of military architecture, including the oldest building in the Great Lakes region: the “French Castle.” The fort is a New York State and National Historic Landmark and hosts several reenactments each year.
Old Fort Niagara offers a chance to step back in time to an era when great empires struggled for control of North America. Visit original 18th century buildings, enjoy incredible views and take part in exciting living history programs. The Fort’s Visitor Center offers you introductory exhibits filled with original artifacts and an award-winning 16-minute orientation film. Don’t miss the Fort’s original War of 1812 Flag.
Inside the Fort, you’ll tour original buildings where Native American, French, British and American soldiers lived and worked from the 18th to the 20th centuries. During the summer months you’ll witness musket and artillery firing demonstrations, go on a guided tour, see artisans at work and learn about life on the Niagara Frontier during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
If you visit during one of our special events, you’ll meet reenactors who faithfully recreate the lives of past Fort garrisons and depict the struggles that led to the birth of the United States and Canada. If you visit during the off season, you’ll enjoy self-guided or audio tours and hourly musket demonstrations in addition to the many exhibits and period rooms throughout the Fort. Why not make plans to visit the Fort today? You’ll experience a unique blend of authenticity and drama that brings history alive.

Yellow River Festival
The Yellow River Festival’s closest neighbor is Farmer’s Market which is open Saturday mornings. The festival was started at the suggestion of Mayor Gary Cook of Plymouth, Indiana. In its start it was only a one day event with a parade and has since grown to a two-day event. The festival has seen over 4,000 visitors in recent years and continues to grow. It is always held the first weekend in June.
A major part of the festival is a focus on the Yellow River itself and the environment around it. We want to help our community better understand the ecological significance of the river and its relationship to Marshall County history and the larger geographic region. Delicious food and creative crafts reflecting the historical period are sold by not-for-profit groups as fundraisers.

About Na-Me-Res
In 1985, Na-Me-Res began offering emergency shelter to Aboriginal men who were without a place to live. Since then, a greater understanding of the underlying causes of Aboriginal homelessness has emerged. In response, particularly over the past few years, Na-Me-Res has either redesigned its programs or designed and implemented new programs to ensure it is meeting the unique needs of Aboriginal men who live in a state of homelessness.

About the Grand Ronde Veterans Powwow Namesake
Veterans Powwow honors Marcellus Norwest: On the evening of Friday, July 8, 2011, Sharon Norwest and her family marked the first Marcellus Norwest Memorial Veterans Powwow with a giveaway to more than 100 friends and neighbors. The Veterans Powwow was renamed that year to honor the Tribal Elder and Army veteran, Marcellus Norwest, who walked on on May 22.
Marcellus had led the effort to start both the Veterans Powwow, held in recent years at Uyxat Powwow Grounds, and the Veterans Memorial that sits on the Tribal campus of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. “We’re thankful for what he stood for and for the time and effort he put into making this powwow what it is today,” said Tribal Council Chairwoman Cheryle A. Kennedy in her invocation. “Marce set the example of how to treat our veterans,” said Tribal Council Vice Chair Reyn Leno.
The Grand Ronde Contest Powwow is a family friendly event. We thank you for respecting Grand Ronde’s Tribal community and our culture by not displaying gang affiliation or by bringing drugs, alcohol or weapons to this event. No pets are permitted around the powwow arena.

About Fort Frederick and Pontiac’s Rebellion
In 1763 the Ottawa Chief Pontiac led a massive Indian rebellion against the English. 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.
Public Admission:

About Fort Frederick
Fort 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. They are furnished with sleeping quarters, workshops and offices, just as they would have been during the mid-18th century.

Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence: 1777 Battle Reenactment
2018-07-21 08:00 - 2018-07-22 17:00 | Fort Ticonderoga, 100 Fort Ti Road, Ticonderoga, NY, 12883, United States
2018 Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence: 1777 Battle Re-enactment

Rate This Event

Experience Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence: 1777 Battle Reenactment on July 20-22, 2018 for a three-day battle re-enactment highlighting the climactic summer of 1777 as its American garrison was outflanked by a British invasion force descending from Canada. 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.
Fort 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.

A 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.
This 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).

Where 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. Advanced tickets are required for this event and must be purchased at Fort Ticonderoga or call 518-585-2821.

About Old Fort Niagara
Old Fort Niagara has dominated the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. In American hands since 1796, Fort Niagara was recaptured by the British in 1813, and then ceded to the US a second time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today, visitors can discover an amazing collection of military architecture, including the oldest building in the Great Lakes region: the “French Castle.” The fort is a New York State and National Historic Landmark and hosts several reenactments each year.
Old Fort Niagara offers a chance to step back in time to an era when great empires struggled for control of North America. Visit original 18th century buildings, enjoy incredible views and take part in exciting living history programs. The Fort’s Visitor Center offers you introductory exhibits filled with original artifacts and an award-winning 16-minute orientation film. Don’t miss the Fort’s original War of 1812 Flag.
Inside the Fort, you’ll tour original buildings where Native American, French, British and American soldiers lived and worked from the 18th to the 20th centuries. During the summer months you’ll witness musket and artillery firing demonstrations, go on a guided tour, see artisans at work and learn about life on the Niagara Frontier during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
If you visit during one of our special events, you’ll meet reenactors who faithfully recreate the lives of past Fort garrisons and depict the struggles that led to the birth of the United States and Canada. If you visit during the off season, you’ll enjoy self-guided or audio tours and hourly musket demonstrations in addition to the many exhibits and period rooms throughout the Fort. Why not make plans to visit the Fort today? You’ll experience a unique blend of authenticity and drama that brings history alive.

Join us for the Annual Beginners Living History Rendezvous on July 28-29, 2018 at the Seven Eagles Historical Education Center in Grand Rapids, Ohio. Seven Eagles Historical Education Center and Common Space Centers for Creativity (Toledo, OH) are family members of the Arts Council Lake Erie West.
Ever browsed those history books and wondered how Native Americans and pioneers survived in the wilderness? Have you ever been to one of those festivals where reenactors portray life in the American colonies or in Native American settlements? Ever wondered how you could become one of them, how you could find your persona and bring it back to life, live the old way, wear the clothes you have admired in books, cook over an open fire, sleep under the stars, and of course, share your love of history and be a constant presence at rendezvous – the only way to understand what the word means is by attending the Beginners Living History Rendezvous. This is the perfect opportunity to learn all this and much more: different Native American lodging styles, cooking techniques and utensils in the Native American camp vs. pioneer camp, Native American style beadwork, hand sewing, finger weaving, basketry, buckskinning, flintknapping, blacksmithing, butter churning, soap making, entertainment and much, much more.

Reenactors will be demonstrating all day in their camps set up on the property. Traders will have their trade blankets ready for you to buy the gear you need to start up reenacting history. Special events are scheduled at specific hours of the Beginners Living History Rendezvous: canoeing, competitions in archery, black powder shooting, hawk and knife. Music (and how you can become a traditional guitar entertainer) will be provided by Jerry Eicher & Brenda Holdridge under the Drum Arbor. A special talk on the material culture of the Eastern Woodland Indians will be delivered in the longhouse by Seven Eagles executive director Martin Nagy. Lots of children activities, so make sure you bring your kiddos (please have them under your constant supervision – this is an outdoor venue and we cannot take responsibility for accidents).
The buildings on the property will be open for visitors and a guided tour can be provided on request. Make sure you stop by and say hello to our innkeeper lady in Catfish Inn, a replica of a 1700s Scottish tavern, to the pioneer couple living in the back of the woods in a 217 years old log house, to the trappers in the Trappers Lodge… All reenactors are education-oriented, seasoned campers, with many, many years of experience – some of them started as young as 16, and their mission is to help you learn all the skills you need to survive and become one of the key-persons in keeping history alive. We are always looking for young people interested in history and living off the grid; if you are one of them, this is the place for you. If you are older…. This is the place for you too, you are never too old to learn or to share your experience.
If you love the outdoors and, moreover, if you love photography, don’t forget your camera and make sure you walk around the property and enjoy the wildflowers and wildlife; the entire venue is an environmental center as well as a historical center. The forty-acre piece of property is home to endangered species of flora and fauna and get ready for a weekend full of adventure, education and excitement!

About the Nathan Hale Homestead
The 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.
