The Siege of Boonesborough took place in September 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. Visitors will hear the history of the time and watch the battle unfold in real-time. During the battle, living historians will portray the Native American Warriors, British Soldiers, and Fort Defenders, and the entire Fort grounds will be populated with encampments and traders of all types.
