Bring history to life, by sharing and learning!

Looking for the source of the noise in the street.

The prescence of actual livestock help to create the atmosphere of the orignal fortress.

Reenacting isn't just uniforms and muskets--take time to dance to a different tune!

2006 Photo Gallery for the Mini-encampment held at the Fortress Louisbourg

These photos were from the small military reenactment hosted by the Fortress Louisbourg during the summer of 2006 as a dress rehearsal for the 2008 Grand Reenactment weekend.  Staged in the time period of the mid 1700s the King's Orange Rangers would not have existed yet.  The first members of the King's Orange Rangers arrived in Nova Scotia during the American Revolution; therefore members of the King's Orange Rangers attend events from this period as members of Cobb's Rangers.  Cobb's company was raised throughout New England and Nova Scotia and was under the direction of  Silvanus Cobb one of the first settlers of Liverpool who was later present at the siege of Québec.  To learn more about Cobb go the peer reviewed historical Dictionary of Canadian Biography online edition using the link.
