Construction began in late 1755 and was completed one year later. It served as the military headquarters for the frontier company (approximately fifty men) as well as a safe-haven for settlers. The fort was attacked on the night of February 27, 1760 when more than 70 Cherokees were repelled. The garrison suffered two men wounded, as well as having one colonial boy killed. The Cherokee were reported to have lost 10-12 men killed and wounded. By the end of 1761, the British had essentially won the war and only thirty troops remained at the fort. Colonial leaders disbanded the troops and removed all the supplies of the garrison as settlement moved far west of the fort. The neglected fort was in ruins by 1766.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reconstruction of Fort Dobbs<\/strong><br \/>\nSoon after protecting the site of Fort Dobbs in 1909, the Daughters of the American Revolution recognized the need to reconstruct the blockhouse. Following initial archaeological investigations in the 1960&#8217;s and &#8217;70&#8217;s the site became a State Historic Site, but with several key questions about the original structure still unanswered, no immediate reconstruction effort was planned.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nIn 2003, the reincorporated non-profit Friends of Fort Dobbs took up the vision of then-site manager Beth Hill to begin an effort to rebuild. More than a decade of hard work ensued. The Friends undertook a fundraising campaign to fund the effort and co-operated with State officials, historians, historic building specialists, architects, and noted archaeologist Dr. Larry Babits to develop feasible, historically sound plans and the capital needed to make Fort Dobbs stand on the banks of Fourth Creek once again.<\/p>\n<p>Following several other facility improvements to the site, ground was broken for the new fort in August of 2016. A mix of modern and 18th Century construction techniques have been employed to meet the challenge of building a structure that must simultaneously meet modern building standards while also approximating an entirely hand-build piece of military engineering from 260 years ago. We hope, with your support, to have Fort Dobbs open as a living history exhibit on a grand scale by early 2019![\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar today so you don&#8217;t miss

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"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Fort Dobbs War for Empire","slug":"fort-dobbs-war-for-empire","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2507,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":2507,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/2507","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Fort Dobbs War for Empire French and Indian War Reenactment","slug":"fort-dobbs-war-for-empire-french-and-indian-war-reenactment","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2506,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":2506,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/2506","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"French &amp; Indian War Reenactment","slug":"french-indian-war-reenactment","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1118,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":19,"filter":"raw","id":1118,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1118","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"War for Empire","slug":"war-for-empire","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2508,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":2508,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/2508","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":22749,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2018-02-17 13:30:45","date_utc":"2018-02-17 13:30:45","modified":"2018-11-13 10:24:36","modified_utc":"2018-11-13 10:24:36","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/venue\/fort-dobbs-state-historic-site\/","venue":"Fort Dobbs State Historic Site","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-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>The Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville, North Carolina is the venue of many historical living history events each year, such as the Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment (February), War for Empire (April), Militia Muster (June), Fall Living History (September) and Winter on the Western Frontier (December).<\/p>\n<p>Fort Dobbs was the only permanent frontier provincial fort in the colony of North Carolina.

Following initial archaeological investigations in the 1960&#8217;s and &#8217;70&#8217;s the site became a State Historic Site, but with several key questions about the original structure still unanswered, no immediate reconstruction effort was planned.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, the reincorporated non-profit Friends of Fort Dobbs took up the vision of then-site manager Beth Hill to begin an effort to rebuild. More than a decade of hard work ensued. The Friends undertook a fundraising campaign to fund the effort and co-operated with State officials, historians, historic building specialists, architects, and noted archaeologist Dr. Larry Babits to develop feasible, historically sound plans and the capital needed to make Fort Dobbs stand on the banks of Fourth Creek once again.<\/p>\n<p>Following several other facility improvements to the site, ground was broken for the new fort in August of 2016. A mix of modern and 18th Century construction techniques have been employed to meet the challenge of building a structure that must simultaneously meet modern building standards while also approximating an entirely hand-build piece of military engineering from 260 years ago. We hope, with your support, to have Fort Dobbs open as a living history exhibit on a grand scale by early 2019![\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/fort-dobbs-cherokee-attack-anniversary-reenactment\/\">View Fort Dobbs Cherokee Attack Anniversary Reenactment Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 5px;
