This weekend marked Fort Ligonier Days, which is a 3 day festival celebrating a battle that took place there. From Wikipedia, "Fort Ligonier is a British fortification from the French and Indian War located in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, United States." From www.fortligonier.com, "As summer waned in 1758, the site of a new fortification was chosen by the British army that overlooked the Loyalhanna Creek. It was the last in a string of fortifications along the newly cut Forbes Road that would ultimately stretch from Philadelphia to the site of French Fort Duquesne, the ultimate objective of the Forbes Campaign. When Fort Duquesne fell to the British army in late November of 1758, construction of a new fort, Fort Pitt, began, and the land on which it rose was named Pittsburgh."

These pictures are from Friday. Some reenacters can be seen setting up for their Saturday reenactment event. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing an historic smokehouse and its surroundings.
