Join us for the St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon on March 7-8, 2020 at the St Lawrence Valley Sportsman’s Club in Ogdensburg, New York. 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.
Participants 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.
Those 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.
Three 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.
The 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.
A modern class will be open to shooters using in-line muzzleloaders and modern snowshoes. All shooters must use firearms with open sights.
The St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is sponsored by the Fort La Présentation Association and Forsyth’s Rifles.
Hours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM.

What is a Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon?
Primitive 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.

Mark 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.

About the Battle of Guilford Courthouse
On March 15, 1781. the largest, most hotly-contested battle of the Revolutionary War’s Southern Campaign was fought at the small North Carolina backcounty hamlet of Guilford Courthouse. Major General Nathanael Greene, defending the ground at Guilford Courthouse with an army of almost 4,500 American militia and Continentals, was tactically defeated by a smaller British army of about 1,900 veteran regulars and German allies commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After 2-1/2 hours of intense and often brutal fighting, Cornwallis forced his opponent to withdraw from the field. Greene’s retreat preserved the strength of his army, but Cornwallis’s frail victory was won at the cost of over 25% of his army.
Guilford Courthouse proved to be the highwater mark of British military operations in the Revolutionary War. Weakened in his campaign against Greene, Cornwallis abandoned the Carolinas hoping for success in Virginia. At Yorktown, seven months after his victory at Guilford Courthouse, Lord Cornwallis would surrender to the combined American and French forces under General George Washington.

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.

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.

Grab a front row seat for one of the Goliad Massacre Reenactment battles that take place in front of Presidio La Bahia. Stay after the battle and immerse yourself in the turbulent times surrounding Colonel Fannin and his men with the candlelight tours Saturday evening.

About the Goliad Massacre
Around 6:00 a.m. on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836, after being held captive for one week, Colonel Fannin’s men were told to gather up their things. They thought that they were going to the Port of Copano and then on to New Orleans. They were happy and singing. They knew that Colonel Fannin had returned from the Port of Copano the previous day. What they didn’t know was that at 7:00 p.m. the pervious evening, Colonel Portilla had received word directly from General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to execute the men. About an hour after Portilla received the excution order from Santa Anna, he received another order from General Urrea to “Treat the prisoners with consideration, particularly their leader, Fannin, and to employ them in rebuilding Goliad.”

About Fort Washita
Fort Washita was built in 1842 as the southwestern-most military post of the United States. The mission of Fort Washita was to maintain peace for the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations within their new lands, pursuant to treaty obligations. There were many outside threats to the new home of the Chickasaw people, including attacks by Republic of Texas militia, interference by unscrupulous intruders, constant raids by Plains tribes, the presence of traders and trappers, and unsettled scores with some of the Plains tribes due to disputes concerning hunting grounds in the Homeland. Fort Washita operated as a United States military post until the start of the Civil War in 1861. It was then occupied by Confederate forces through 1865. The fort was almost entirely destroyed by the Confederates as they fled at the end of the Civil War.
Learn MoreAfter the war, the fort was granted to the Chickasaw Nation and later the Dawes Commission allotted the fort and surrounding land to the Charles and Abbie Davis Colbert family.
The Oklahoma Historical Society acquired Fort Washita in 1962 and restored it as a historic site and museum. In 2016, the Chickasaw Nation partnered with the Oklahoma Historical Society to assume responsibility and management of Fort Washita. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designed as a National Historic Landmark.
Visitors to Fort Washita can tour restored structures, witness Civil War reenactments and take part in the yearly Fur Trade Era Rendezvous to experience what life was like before and during the Civil War. Other events throughout the year include storytelling, outdoor movies and special seasonal and holiday events that the whole family can enjoy.

When the eagle staff is brought in during the grand entry, everyone stands. Hats are removed in respect. The same respect is shown should an eagle feather fall during the dancing. Everything must stop until a proper returning of the feather has been performed.
Pointing with a finger, particularly the index finger, is considered impolite. It is best to indicate a person or direction by pursing the lips and pointing with the eyes or to nod in the direction.
As with most events involving competition and concentration, camera flashes can be distracting. Photos must be taken from outside of the dance area.
Consider the privacy of the individual, and ask permission before you record them on tape or film. This includes spectators and craftspeople as well as the dancers and singers.
Certain dances and ceremonies are not to be recorded or photographed. Listen to the Master of Ceremonies who will announce when such activities are not allowed. Videotaping is often strongly discouraged.
Do not bother the performers or stand in front of those preparing to dance or sing.
Do not touch any of the dancers’ outfits. Ornaments have special meanings and many of the handmade outfits, which can cost thousands of dollars, are cherished and sometimes made by a respected family.
Feel free to join in the intertribal dancing on invitation of the Master of Ceremonies.

No dogs or other pets allowed on the Pow Wow grounds. No drugs or alcohol are allowed at Pow Wows. The Pow Wow is a SMOKE-FREE event. No smoking is allowed anywhere on the Pow Wow grounds.

Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony
Annually,two Saturdays before Patriots’ Day, the Bedford Minuteman Company and Minuteman Companies from the area converge on Willson Park in Bedford to commemorate the spirit and courage of the patriots who sparked the American Revolution.
Bedford Pole Capping Revived in 1965
The modern tradition of pole capping in Bedford began in 1965 following the formation of the modern-day Bedford Minuteman Company the previous year. The history of pole capping dates back to Roman times but was most prevalent during colonial times. The most notable pole capping took place in Boston in 1765 and was a tree, not a pole, located at juncture of Washington and Essex Streets. The “Liberty Tree” was a symbol of the Sons of Liberty, a revolutionary organization. When a red flag was raised at the top of the tree, it was a sign to for the group to organize. Liberty Poles sprang up in communities around the colonies, including Bedford. Today, the annual Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony takes place as a celebration of Bedford’s resolve and patriotic spirit during the American Revolution.

The Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony features a march, displays of musketry, and music of the period performed by the men and women of the many Minuteman Companies in attendance. But the main event – which draws not only spectators, but also the soldiers of His Majesty’s 10th Regiment of Foot, intent on stopping the defiant rabble-rousing – is the raising of a tall wooden pole, which is climbed by a Bedford Minuteman and affixed with a red knitted cap.
The “Pole Capping” reenacts the practice in Colonial America of dissatisfaction with varied rulings and conduct of the English government. This defiance to the British Crown showed the spirit of liberty exemplified by Bedfordians and other colonials in the early phases of the War for Independence.
The Town of Bedford displayed equally the spirit and courage of their compatriots with, among other acts of courage, the erection of their own Liberty Poles. It is in commemoration of those men, and their American feeling for Liberty at the Bedford Liberty Pole Capping Parade and Ceremony, that the Bedford Minuteman Company conducts its annual Liberty Pole Capping and Raising ceremonies.

Meriams Corner Exercise
This annual commemoration marks the assembly and actions of militia and minuteman units that arrived at Meriams Corner during the British retreat from Concord, Aril 19, 1775. After the Regulars’ withdrawal from the North Bridge where they had engaged with more than 400 Minutemen, they began a retreat back to Boston. By the time the Regulars arrived at this spot at half past noon, there were reported to be about 1,100 Minutemen in the area from more than a dozen towns. A challenge by the Regulars started a classic guerilla action, which continued for many hours as the outnumbered British retreated towards Boston. At least two British privates were killed and several others wounded here during that initial exchange. By the time the day was over, 49 Colonials and 73 British troops were killed, plus 173 wounded and missing.
The actions commerated here at the Meriams Corner Exercise began a war that would not end until Yorktown, more than 6 long years later.

Battle of Bound Brook Living History Weekend Mini-Gallery

The Continental Army was stationed in Bound Brook to keep an eye on British General Cornwallis, whose army occupied New Brunswick. To rid himself of this interference, Cornwallis organized a surprise attack on Bound Brook with the help of Hessian Johann Ewald, captain of the elite Lieb Jaeger Korps.
At this time, American Major General Benjamin Lincoln was staying in the home of Phillip Van Horne on the Old York Road, now Main Street in Bridgewater, across the street from TD Bank Ballpark and the Bridgewater New Jersey Transit Train Station.
Van Horne is said to have been friendly to both sides during the Revolution, and that Lincoln narrowly escaped out the back door as the British were knocking on the front door.
Lincoln was able to rally his 500 troops to retreat. A band of Continental soldiers fought the British at the Queen’s Bridge and the Stone Arch Bridge that spanned the Raritan River and the Green Brook. Most of the Americans were able to escape to fight another day, though 60 troops were killed or captured.
One of the key locations for the Battle of Bound Brook reenactment is South Bound Brook’s Abraham Staats House, which served as the headquarters of Baron von Steuben, the German officer who came to Valley Forge and helped instill discipline and martial skills in the American troops during that bitterly cold encampment in Pennsylvania. He was known as Washington’s drill master.

Rate This Event

The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment will take place on Monday, April 20, 2020 at 5:30 am on the Lexington Battle Green in Lexington, Massachusetts. This event recreates the historic skirmish in Lexington on the first day of the American Revolution. Following the ringing of the bell in the Old Belfry, members of the Lexington Training Band (now known as the Minutemen) gather on Lexington Green to await the column of British Regulars as they march into the town center. A shot rings out, the skirmish follows, and the British column marches on towards Concord leaving dead and wounded behind.

Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment
To commemorate the anniversary of the first day of the American War for Independence, the Lexington Minute Men, and local British Revolutionary War reenactors, depict the skirmish that took place on Lexington Green, early on the morning of April 19, 1775. Witness the tensions mount, as the local militia company from Lexington confronts the King’s Regulars, and the ensuing skirmish that follows. The ‘Shot heard ’round the world.’ The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment is on the officially observed Patriot’s Day, the third Monday of April, starting at 5:45 am on the Lexington Green.
Arrive early for the best viewing spot.The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment offers a great opportunity to witness our common heritage as Americans. Spectators begin to arrive at Lexington Green as early as 3:00 in the morning in order to get a prime spot for the events that begin with the alarm bell sounding in the Old Belfry at 5:30 am. There are usually 8,000 – 10,000 spectators lining the Green to watch the 77 Lexington Minute Men and their families portray the colonists, and more than 150 British portray His Majesty’s Regulars (“red coats”) of 1775.
The battle, as relived through the Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment, begins with a quick skirmish at Lexington Green, and expands into a daylong series of fights, which in 1775 stretched along a country road involving over 3,500 provincial militia men, and over 2,100 of His Majesty’s Regulars. This was the beginning of the American Revolution. The initial fighting in the war was a local action between Britain and her recalcitrant colony of Massachusetts. This skirmish led to fighting throughout the original 13 colonies and Canada, and international war, culminating in American Independence. “The ‘Shot that was heard around the world’ and American Independence started on Lexington Green.

Lexington Minute Men Participation in Patriots’ DayThe Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment is just one event in which the Lexington Minute Men will participate on Patriot’s Day.

The Minute Men have a long proud history, from the militia that fought on the Green in 1775, to providing men to fight throughout the American Revolution.
The Minute Men gained attention again during the Centennial Celebration of 1876, when President U.S. Grant saluted the 77 men who stood on the Green. In the past 125 years, the Minute Men have been involved in a number of ceremonial, educational, and civic functions. During the Bicentennial, the Minute Men served as honor guards for President Ford and Queen Elizabeth. The Lexington Minute Men are under the command of Captain Steve Conners.

Join the Isaac Davis Trail March on Monday, April 20, 2020 starting at the Isaac Davis Homestead in Acton, ending at the Old North Bridge in Concord. Each year, on the Monday of Patriots’ Day weekend, the Acton Minutemen lead the Isaac Davis Trail March, recreating the famous march to Concord over the remnants of the original trail that Isaac Davis and his men traveled on that fateful day, referred to by stone markers labeled “Line of March, April 19, 1775”.

Isaac Davis Trail March
The Isaac Davis Trail March starts at the Isaac Davis Homestead in Acton at 5:50 am, where there will be a short ceremony of remembrance. From there, the march goes to Acton Center, arriving about 6:20 am at the monument where Isaac Davis, Abner Hosmer, and James Hayward are buried, and have another short remembrance ceremony. From there, the march proceeds to Concord over the original route (as closely as possible), arriving at the Old North Bridge about 9:00 am. At the bridge, the Acton Minutemen will take part in a battle reenactment of the Old North Bridge Battle that took place there, along with the 10th and 4th Regiment of Foot. The Acton Minutemen will lay a wreath at the base of the Minuteman statue (which was sculpted in Isaac Davis’s likeness) and fire a volley from amid the bridge in honor of those who fell there from Acton’s ranks.
The public is encouraged to join the minutemen on the Isaac Davis Trail March from Acton to Concord. It is an experience that you and your family will never forget. Join in the history, in the fun, and in the tradition. Make this event a regular tradition in your family and keep the “life” in living history!

About The Isaac Davis Trail March
The Isaac Davis Trail, also known as the Acton Trail, is an historic 6-mile trail running east-west in the towns of Acton and Concord, Massachusetts. The trail was significant in 1775 when it was used by Captain Isaac Davis and the Acton Minutemen to march on Concord during the battles of Lexington and Concord. The trail was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
The Isaac Davis Trail March begins at Isaac Davis’ house (which still stands) in Acton, and ends at western end of the North Bridge in the Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord. Most of the route is now paved roads, where in some cases the alignment no longer matches the exact route. Despite this, the trail route evokes the time of the march, with its roadways lined with stone walls, and houses generally set back from the street.
History of the Isaac Davis Trail March
In the early dawn hours of April 19th, 1775, an alarm rider galloped his way throughout the town of Acton, warning of the British advance out of Boston. The objective of the march was Concord, where the British General, Thomas Gage, had heard there were stores of weapons, ammunition, and supplies for a protracted military campaign. As such, when the alarm came to Captain Isaac Davis, the leader of the Acton Minute Company, he sounded the alarm shots to rally his men to come to his house and prepare to head off for Concord, a journey of about 7 miles.
Davis had said that when 30 men had arrived at his house, he would depart for Concord. As his men arrived, Isaac’s wife Hannah, who had been taking care of their four sick children, made the men breakfast and helped them to powder their wigs. Then they formed up in two long columns and headed out. They had only marched a few paces, when Davis halted them, walked back to Hannah as if to say something profound to her, and said only “Take good care of the children”. Those would be the last words she would ever hear him say, for the Acton Minutemen marched off to Concord, met the British head-on at the North Bridge, and Davis was shot and killed. He would go down in history as the first commissioned officer to die in the service of the new young Republic.
