"Join us as we slip into the shadows of Virginia’s 1776 Wilderness. You will see and hear history come alive as over 300 living historians re-enact life at Joseph Martin’s frontier fort. Watch as two cultures clash and the flames of war are once again ignited on Virginia’s frontier. Activities include tours of Cherokee Warrior and Colonial Militia camps, frontier fort life, and 18th century merchants and colonial traders selling their wares. There will be a special Sons of the American Revolution historical ceremony and wreath laying, Saturday at 10:00 am. Wilderness Road State Park will also be hosting a Contemporary Longrifle Association artists show which will highlight some of the nation’s premier artisans and their craftsmanship. Throughout the weekend there will be various seminars on 18th century topics conducted by world renowned historians and lecturers. The highlight of this event will be the frontier battles between Cherokee Warriors and the settlers of Martin’s Station. The first battle will occur Saturday at 1 pm, the special night battle will take place Saturday night at 8:30 pm. War is imminent."
My only affiliation with this is that I live in the area and some of my ancestors stopped at the original Martin's Station but this is one of the better historical reenactments that I have been to and one of the few on this subject. If I can get the good digital camera from work this weekend I'll try to grab some photos and post them here if people are interested.
