18th Century Fort Loudoun Christmas Candlelight Tour<\/h4>\n

Living history makes Fort Loudoun not only a unique historical stage but also an educational theater concerning the lifestyles of Early Americans. Garrison troops and officers provide insight into their daily routines with several displays of 18th century military might which included Artillery Drills, Musket Drills, Posting of the decorations Fort Loudoun Guard, and marching in rank around the grounds, as well as mock battles that are presented at some special events.<\/p>\n

The Christmas program at Fort Loudoun offers us a vintage look at “Christmas Past.” A view of a more simple and humble time for those isolated far from home and country. No light shows, no fancy decorations, no grand hoop-la just the Spirit of a sacred time, a time of giving and reflection.<\/p>\n

There’s no line waiting to sit on Santa’s lap, though it may be no Santa at Fort Loudoun confusing for some little children being that the grounds are full of men in long bright “red coats.” The decorations around the fort are modest, a little hemlock, berries and a red velvet bow here and there with accents of holiday coloring within the houses and barracks.<\/p>\n

Some of the highlights of a Fort Loudoun Christmas include a Christmas Church Service, Wassail Tasting and Christmas Carols with a special holiday Candlelight Tour of the Fort that will commence at 6:00 pm and end at 7 pm.<\/p>\n
