Frontier Stations Under Attack - at Boone Station
4/19/2008 to 4/20/2008
Not all conflicts at frontier stations have been mentioned in major accounts of our history. This event at Boone Station State Historic Site in Fayette County is representative of documented incidents that occurred during attacks on stations such as Ruddle's, Martin's, Morgan's, Strode's and many others on the Kentucky frontier. While not always playing a significant part in the larger picture of the Revolutionary War, these were life and death situations to many families of the early settlers. Visit camps of settlers and Native Americans as you learn about life during such times at early stations. See demonstrations of 18th century daily life and skills required to survive on the frontier. Demonstrations and camp touring begins at 9 a.m., and battle reenactments are at 2 p.m. each day. Concessions available. $3/Adults - $1/Children - Under 6/free More information at www.fortboonesboroughlivinghistory.org
