To Garrison the Fort – Gists Scouts at Fort Frederick F&I War: March 30-31, 2019 at Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool, Maryland. Experience life at the fort during the French and Indian War as members of the recreated 17th Virginia Company \u201cGist’s Scouts\u201d garrison the fort.

About Fort Frederick<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n
