Witness history come alive as hundreds of living historians re-enact life at Joseph Martins frontier fort. Watch as two cultures clash and the flames of war are once again ignited on Virginia&#8217;s frontier. Activities include tours of Cherokee Warrior and Colonial Militia camps, frontier fort life, and 18th century merchants and colonial traders selling their wares. Various seminars on 18th century topics will be conducted by world renowned historians and lecturers. Frontier battles between the natives and the settlers highlight the Raid at Martin&#8217;s Station reenactment at 1 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The station takes its name from Joseph Martin, who led the expedition that identified that tract of land where they erected a stockaded fort, some crude cabins, and planted a corn crop. These efforts at settlement proved to be useless, as an Indian attack occurred in the fall of 1769 and the station was abandoned. Joseph Martin would not be long absent from the station, and in January 1775 returned to Powell&#8217;s Valley with a party of 16 or 18 men who built a more permanent station. As the last fortified station along the Wilderness Road prior to reaching the new lands being opened in Kentucky, Martin&#8217;s Station was a well-known stop for the early settlers.<\/p>\n<p>Mark

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,\r\n<a class=\"blue\" href=\"http:\/\/research.history.org\/DigitalLibrary\/View\/index.cfm?doc=ResearchReports%5CRR0069.xml\" target=\"_New\">Eighteenth Century Fairs<\/a> 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.\r\n\r\n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=\"Read more\"]\r\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.\r\n\r\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.\r\n[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]","parent":0,"count":32,"filter":"raw","id":276,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/276","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Same week in month","slug":"same-week-in-month","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":271,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":248,"count":679,"filter":"raw","id":271,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/271","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories","up":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/248"}},{"name":"US Historic Reenactor Events","slug":"us-historic-reenactor-events","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":103,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":77,"filter":"raw","id":103,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/103","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Martins Station","slug":"martins-station","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1631,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":1631,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1631","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Martins Station Reenactment","slug":"martins-station-reenactment","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1630,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":1630,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1630","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":12142,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2017-02-23 03:42:23","date_utc":"2017-02-23 03:42:23","modified":"2018-02-23 09:49:34","modified_utc":"2018-02-23 09:49:34","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/venue\/historic-martins-station-at-wilderness-road-state-park\/","venue":"Historic Martins Station at Wilderness Road State Park","description":"<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-1 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-0 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\"><p>Wilderness Road State Park living history programs, such as the Raid at Martin&#8217;s Station, and other activities as picnicking, hiking, and nature programs.
