Bledsoe’s Fourth Annual “18th Century Colonial
Fair” will be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 6th, 7th & 8th,
2011 at Bledsoe’s Fort in Castalian Springs, TN, 9 miles East of
Gallatin on Hwy. 25.
On behalf of the planning committee for the
Fair, we would like to express our gratitude to those of you who
did so much to help make this event possible last year. It takes
quite a team working diligently for months . . . from the ones
who put out signs, clean the park facilities, attend the ticket
booth, assist with parking, cut wood, mow grass, show houses,
greet people, assist with mass mail-outs, give of their money,
provide lunch for participants and so much more . . . to you we
say THANK YOU!
Because of the commitment of this team and the desire of BLHA to
increase awareness of the awesome historic landmarks we have
been blessed with in our community, it was decided that a little
water would not dampen our spirits or drown our efforts to carry
on and move forward in 2011.
We are very excited about this year’s Colonial Fair. We have
more entertainment lined up for everyone of all ages. Once again
historic re-enactors will recreate history and life near the
site of the original Bledsoe’s Fort, the Rogan Cottage, and the
Nathanial Parker Cabin.
The event will showcase many different facets of the Fort Site
including a Longhunter’s camp, Military Camp, and Pioneer
Encampments indicative of the 18th century period of 1750-1790
at Bledsoe. You will want to visit Traders Row for colonial arts
and crafts, clothing, pottery, guns, knives, toys, and
much, much more!
