Gathering of Descendants. June 22th CANCELED!!!
This event has been cancelled due to the late opening of the fort. This unfortunate cancellation is related to the early spring floods that delayed the season opening of the fort.
Please join us for this event in 2026. We welcome everyone who had ancestors in the area of Fort Boonesborough in the 18th century and played a part in the early settlement. We will have resources and information about many of the folks who were here in those early days, ideas of where to find genealogical information, and museum exhibits of artifacts from the original fort site. Authors will be on hand to sign books about early days of the fort, the people, and surrounding areas, and we will have ongoing historical interpretation of the daily lives, chores, skills and trades of those who came here during that time. Extended families of those first residents in the Fort Boonesborough area.
The 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough September 20th-21th Saturday and Sunday - battle re-enactment at 2 pm each day. Come early and spend the day learning about 18th century life in Kentucky, and visit the Native camps also.
