Colonial Encampment

A Pre-1800 encampment for French & Indian War, Colonials, Long Hunters and Military/Militia.  First held October 2009.  

Garry Dawdy combined two marquees for the "Tavern."  One of the participants noted that there was an entirely different character to this event (as opposed to the mountain man rendezvous) and that there was lots of "romance and adventure."
