The fact that these events are not “unit sanctioned” may be due to scheduling issues (we try to avoid back to back weekends), length of event, or when we found out about the event to name but a few reasons. If you'd like to add an event to this list, please contact Wynne via NOSPAMsouthernindiandept@gmail.com.

Per Chad: "We had a great turnout last year and hope for an even better time this year. We have a relatively new "Native Camp" area with 4 lean-to shelters that are available to our Native guests. Quite a nice secluded spot behind the fort near the river. Also, last year we offered a Saturday evening barbecue supper to all registered participants and a ˝ lb. blackpowder ration to all combatants. I'll let you know if we plan the same this year or not."
