May 18th-20th, 2007
In May of 1778, a war party of over 200 Shawnee warriors appeared at Fort Randolph. Unable to entice the men from the fort, the Indians rose from their hiding places to form a line stretching from the Ohio to the Kanawha Rivers, thus placing Fort Randolph under siege.
Welcoming all 18th century enthusiasts to the seventh annual Siege of Fort Randolph encampment and reenactment at Krodel Park in Point Pleasant, WV. The main event features the reenactment of Chief Cornstalk’s fate filled visit to Fort Randolph in the fall of 1777 and the subsequent siege placed upon the fort in May of 1778.
Friday evening, there will be a seminar by Doug Wood. Saturday events include demonstrations and drama/reenactment at 2 pm for the public. Saturday evening there will be a fort feast, auction, and tavern entertainment. Sunday a trek among the hills will be offered. Pre-registration is highly appreciated. Early set-up is available on Thursday.
Straw, firewood, water, restrooms and showers are available on site.
IMPORTANT!!!!
1. Flashguards are required for anyone participating in the battle, and there should be some available for sale by the suttlers.
2. All firearms must be loaded with paper cartridges. Paper cartridges will be provided to participants.
3. If you wear a powder horn, it needs to be empty.
4. The blades of all edges weapons must be covered.
