    The 18th Century Market Fair at Locust Grove

    I figured some would find this interesting. In Louisville, KY is the home of Gen. George Rogers Clark - Locust Grove. Every year they have an 18th Century Market Fair where you can purchase colonial items made by vendors etc. One of the events they have is a battle re-enactment between the British and the Americans. The British force was comprised of British soldiers, German soldiers, loyalists to the crown and some kilted highlanders along with a piper. I'm not all that knowledgeable on the Revolutionary War but I found it entertaining regardless. http://www.locustgrove.org/

    I'm going to try and include some photos.
