18th Century Christmas at the Fort

December 8-9, 2017 – Visitors to the Fort got to see and hear the differences in the holiday celebrations of the season during the early settlement of Kentucky. The Fort was lighted by candlelight, with decorations in keeping with the traditions of the time.  Candle lanterns, bonfires, the Christmas Guns, food and refreshments, music and dance,  all added to the atmosphere.  This is a special program sponsored by the Fort Boonesborough Foundation.

The original Fort Boonesborough was built by Daniel Boone and his men in 1775
