CALENDAR 2009
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. This event returns for a second year with more 18th century games and family fun. Join us as we celebrate summer fun with on-going games and activities including Quoits, Graces, Stilts, Skittles, and Fox & Geese. A marble pit will test your skill and accuracy. Well known reenactor Shari Crawford will once again be on hand to organize more formal competitions. A small $2.00 donation is requested for this event.
Time: 8:30 p.m. Last year you may have joined us for the 1939 classic movie Drums Along the Mohawk. This year we invite you to join us for the 1956 not-so-classic Mohawk, a movie Amazon.com describes as “a delightfully bad movie that succeeds despite itself.” Come prepared for a very different movie going experience as we enjoy an irreverent look at life on the “frontier” Hollywood style. Bring a picnic and enjoy the grounds of the Old Fort before the movie. This event is free and open to all. The movie will begin approximately 8:30 p.m. preceded by a brief introduction. Typical movie refreshments will be available for purchase. Attendees will sample a variety of homemade soups and fresh baked bread and receive a reproduction 18th century porringer to take home.
