    Registration is now open

    All participants who have paid and are registered will be posted in their respective categories.

    This is a first person living history in an authentically reproduced 1825 US frontier fort. We will be portraying the time period of late April to May 1861 reliving the mustering-in of the 1st Minnesota Volunteers Infantry.
    This was a patriotic time for the US and for Minnesota. Thousands of people made the journey to Fort Snelling to see their brothers, fathers, and friends become soldiers.

    Participants flying in
    As you can see on the map on the directions page, the Minneapolis\St. Paul Airport is 6 minutes away from Fort Snelling. We will have a shuttle to and from the Airport.

    There will be a place to change and to store modern clothes at the fort for these people.

    This is a three (3) day event, going live at 9:00 PM Thursday night and ending on Sunday at 1:00 PM.

    Cars will be allowed inside the walls on Thursday from 5PM to 8:30PM ONLY for people who have prior authorization to set up a wall tent! Please arrive early.

    Military and Onsite Civilian participants must be on site for check-in before 8:30 PM. The event will start promptly at 9:00PM.

    Participants who cannot arrive until Friday please contact the event coordinator.

    Sorry no refunds.

    No group registration.

    No walk-ons will be allowed.

          Event Update

          We had a meeting on Saturday and we have finalized our schedule. The lovely ladies are putting together some great things to be given away.

          Registration numbers are at 63 with more coming in. Keep it up. The folks that are on this forum who are still thinking about registering. Registration closes April 1st.

          We did some restructuring with the Military. To make sure that we are not "Top Heavy" with brass we have eliminated some roles and filled in some other ones that needed to get filled.

          Due to our numbers for the military we will be consolidating the two companies. We stand at 35 but if we get over 40 we might make two companies. Your company letter will remain the same.
          It is documented that some some companies when they arrive did not have the number of men to make a company so they waited until their ranks were filled. Most of them would consolidate companies.
          Nathan Dapper and Jeremy Bevard will be the two officers. It is up to the men who will be the company commander. The man from Dakota County or the man from Goodhue County. Let the debate begin.

          The Hotel has a few spots left. 3 for woman and 3 for Men. Please not that all the beds have been spoken for. You will need to bring a cot, bed sack or sleep on the wood floor. The inn keeper of the Hotel is Nathan Willar. He will be the person you will go to for any questions.

          Food will be serve to the Soldiers and Guest at The Hotel. Everyone else will have to bring there own food. People who are staying on the grounds in a tent will have a camp fire for them to use. The Citizens of Minnesota will be allowed to bring food in and store it in the work room or we might have a room in the hotel.

          Officers dinner will be Saturday night starting at 4:00pm sharp. We will be sending out an invitation's this week. Please reply to it if you are interested. Cost is $10 and will be payed when you arrive at registration. 1st Minnesota Soldiers will not be allowed to attend.

          In the next couple weeks registered guest will be receiving emails on instructions when you arrive on site. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at thesheepfarm@gmail.com

          Thank you everyone

              Thanks Joe,

              You, Nathan, Jim, that big fellow and the other Gentlemen and Ladies in Minnesota have done a great job bringing this together and getting the information out for us outsiders to come and play in a few weeks. Those that don't come are going to be jealous when this is over...
              Your Obedient Servant,
