Quasi-war event

 Winter Encampment: Quasi-War Army at Harpers Ferry 

February 17-18 11am - 4pm 

Please join us President’s Day weekend (February 17-18) as living history volunteers from the Chesapeake Independent Blues and the 16th Regiment bring to life this important but little-known period of Harpers Ferry’s history. Both days will feature flintlock musket firing demonstrations and period cooking. Stop by the White Hall Tavern on Saturday between 2-4PM for some period music. 

Step back in time to the year 1800. A thousand soldiers were encamped here, building wooden huts to shelter themselves in over two feet of snow. They drilled to prepare for a possible war with France. Shots had already been fired between their navies. Would the army soon join in the fight? The new Armory and Arsenal buildings were under construction and repair work to old muskets was already underway. 

This event will occur from 11AM – 4PM on both days.

Treaty of Greenville 1795

The Treaty of Greenville, formally titled Treaty with the Wyandots, etc., was a 1795 treaty between the United States and indigenous nations of the Northwest Territory (now Midwestern United States) including the Wyandot and Delaware peoples, which redefined the boundary between indigenous peoples's lands and territory for European American settlement.

It was signed at Fort Greenville,^[1] now Greenville, Ohio, on August 3, 1795, following the Native American loss at the Battle of Fallen Timbers a year earlier. It ended the Northwest Indian War in the Ohio Country, limited Indian Country to northwestern Ohio, and began the practice of annual payments following land concessions. The parties to the treaty were a coalition of Native American tribes known as the Western Confederacy, and the United States government represented by General Anthony Wayne and local frontiersmen.

The treaty became synonymous with the end of the frontier in the Northwest Territory.
