- The Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair is one of the biggest reenacting/living history events of its kind in the eastern U.S.. Last week I was camping at the 2013 version of the event and I'd like to share some of the goings on in a short series of videos. In this episode I'll give you the general tenor of the event by showing you the campgrounds and the vendors at the Market Fair.

This event truly was awesome. Met some very nice vendors, got a bargain on some real quality equipment (nice .291 ball mould for buckshot, awesome pack basket, beautiful leather possibles bag, and others). The people giving the tour of the Fort itself were very knowledgeable and tolerant of my incessant badgering and stupid questions. :)
Can't wait to go back next year!!
This was the nineteenth annual Ft. Fred Market fair. If you google it you can get next year's dates.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos.
Absolutely love these events ! Last one I attended was at Big Bone in Ky and just really enjoyed it.The crafters who make a lot of the stuff are just fantastic,true artisans in the field.Thanks for sharing this !
what a cool way to spend your spare time.nice to see all that great craftsmanship too,thanks for posting
I love this events. For those in my neck of the woods way out on the frontier. ( 1780's frontier that is) The Fair at New Boston , In George Rogers Clark State park in Ohio. Is a fun event very much like this one. It takes place at the end of August I believe. Check out there web sight. Before it was the village of New Boston, It was a Shawnee village, Where a young man named Tecumseh age about 11 was living. Great history at the sight.
I keep two big buckets of water at my fire area, everyone I know keeps at least one bucket of water near the fire. Most tents are made of fire-retardent canvas.
If you took them you'd have to keep them out of sight. I generally lock my phone in the truck for the duration, and use a pocket watch.
I made most of my 18th century shirts as well as the deer skin leggings. I didn't bring any rifles that I built. I brought a TVM fowler
Looks like fun !. Can't wait to see the rest .
very cool vid, thank you for sharing Mike. I would enjoy attending one of these Market Fairs.
Mike as always thank you!!
In my next life I want to come back as you Mike. :-) Very cool experience man...very cool!
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing! :)
I miss doing rondavose
Wow I need to go to this!
Awsome video we got something like this here in bay city mi called the river of time can't wait to see move videos like this one I'm very interested in this stuff
Thanks
It's interesting to see other time periods being done, I just got done with a wwii reenactment, I'd like to see some of this stuff but I need another time period like I need a hole in my head.
Neat stuff!
Nice work on the clothes, deer skin leggings must have been fun to make and wear, being so traditional. On the rifle front, it's a shame. I know that in a video where you shot the rifle you made, you said it didn't look too good, but I think it looks great, and a lot of other people commented that it fires off such a smooth action. :)
What a blast that must have been. I bet all reenacting ends when it comes to taking a credit card for one of those flintlocks.
You look a lot like the writer character (Saul Rubinek) from Unforgiven... the one that was following gene hackman and the other gun fighter around
That looks like allot of fun. Did they have a "ye old tavern"? Lol.
I'd kiss my bank balance goodbye real quick in there!
In a couple of days.
Did you take the powder rifle you made yourself to the event? And I'm curious if you made any crafts to take with you for personal use, such as pouches, garments etc :) I've always loved the thoughts of such things, but I always move around so much I can hardly find time to make equipment or be even around in time for these events.
Cool
No. I'm in Pennsylvania
Not to take away from all the fun, but with all those tents and grass and candle lanterns, are there any fire safety precautions taken?
I'm curious about the music. It sounds decidedly Scandinavian.
i hope and am making plant to retire and maybe live this way soon.
That's awesome
Are you from the area? I live in Frostburg and wasn't aware of this.
do you take your cell fone and digital watch with you to these events or is this banned???
When do we get part 2
🧀🐀
I am surprised Maryland allowed this since their new gun laws have been approved.
