It began a year long siege on the Fort during which many settlers would die violent deaths. The Shawnee killed or stole all of the settlers livestock and burn their crops. The year of 1777 becam e known as the "Year of Despair" and one can only imagine the terror and h ardships the settlers in the Fort had to endure. But\, the Fort held\, at tack after attack. Had it not\, there would have been no Harrods Town\, no Harrodsburg and no State of Kentucky!\nFort Harrod was never overrun. A t one point they nearly ran out of gun powder which gave rise to the famou s "Powder Run" by George Rogers Clark\, James Harrod and others to obtain the much needed powder. They were successful and the Fort was saved!\nDATE S &\; TIMES:\n\nJun 18\, 2022 - June 19\, 2022  /  10:00 A.M. – 5:0 0 P.M.\nRaids at 2 pm daily\nSaturday:\n10:00 am Plants of the time period and how they were used.\n11:00 Horses on the Frontier\; "There were no ga s stations on the Wilderness Road".\n12:00 Native Story Telling.\n1:00 Coo king in a primitive Mud Oven\n2:00 Native and British loyalist attack the fort.\n2:30 The "Native Experience"\n3:00 History of Butler's Rangers and their impact on KY\n4:00 Cemetery Dedication and Memorial\n8:00 Tavern Nig ht in McGinty's Ordinary.\nSunday:\n10:00 Divine Church Service at the "bi g Spring" on Factory Street\n12:00 Native Story Telling\n2:00 Native attac k on the fort\n2:30 The "Native Experience.\n4:00 Event Closes.\n\n\nRates \n\n Adults: $7.00\n Seniors: $6.00\n Children: $4.0\n\n\n CATEGORIES:$10 or Less,Age Range,Babies,Elementary,History,Outdoor Activity,Parents,Preschoolers,Teens,Toddlers LOCATION:Fort Harrod\, 100 S College St\, Harrodsburg\, KY\, 40330\, United States GEO:37.761784;-84.84571699999998 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 S College St\, Harrodsb urg\, KY\, 40330\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fort Harrod:ge o:37.761784,-84.84571699999998 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Kentucky/Louisville X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Kentucky/Louisville BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
