Although Fort Boonesborough was never considered a military fort, members of the militia under the command of George Rogers Clark frequented the fort on many occasions as they traveled throughout the hostile countryside. Present day members of two of these companies camped at Fort Boonesborough while on a recruiting mission. Boys and girls who were visiting the fort over the weekend gladly signed up (or made their mark) to become members and “train” with the soldiers.

July 25th and 26th saw members of Logan’s and Kellar’s Companies visit Fort Boonesborough. These were companies that were part of George Rogers Clark’s Illinois Regiment. Present day members are part of The Northwest Territorial Alliance and the Brigade of the American Revolution. Members at the fort this weekend were from Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.
