March To The Past ~ This Weekend!

Friends of Fort Defiance will present the annual March To The Past on April 22, 2007 at the fort. This event is FREE to the public! It begins at 1 pm and runs until 5 pm.

There will be 2 cannons firing, reenactors from both Union and Confederate armies, soap making, quilting, bonnet making, sewing, a 19th century country doctor, a rations display and a scale model of the fort to view in addition to some hands-on activities for the public. Snacks and drinks will be available for a donation.  All donations go to the Friend’s group’s efforts to educate, and provide more reenacting events at Fort Defiance.

Come out and learn about civilian and soldier activities during the 19th century and Clarksville’s role in the Civil War.
