This immersive event takes place on the grounds of Fort Moore, a site that, in 1825, was part of the Creek Nation. The reenactment features actor Charles Wissinger portraying General Lafayette and Dr. Gary McIntosh, a direct descendant of Chief McIntosh, bringing authenticity and depth to this significant encounter.

This reenactment offers a rare opportunity to experience a significant historical event through the eyes of those who lived it. The presence of Dr. Gary McIntosh, a direct descendant of Chief McIntosh, adds a personal and poignant connection to the reenactment, enriching the experience for all attendees.

Pre-registration is required to access Fort Moore.

Following the reenactment, guests will be guided around Lawson Field where they can stop to view the exact spot where Lafayette’s entourage crossed the Chattahoochee.  From there, you will be guided to the bridge that connects Fort Moore to the area near Fort Mitchell for the festivities to begin at 2:00 ET.
