To Avenge Fort Mims: Tennessee and the Creek War
August 14, 2016 |
THIS PROGRAM IS FREE WITH THE COST OF ADMISSION
Join us as we explore the events that transformed a small internal war within the Creek Nation into one that altered the course of history, and set Andrew Jackson on a path to national importance and the presidency. A costumed interpreter will discuss the clothing, equipment, and weapons of the Tennesseans and relate the story and repercussions of Jackson’s victory at Horseshoe Bend.
