Several members of the community joined the Friends of Fort Harrod and the Colonel James Harrod Chapter SAR in a commemoration of the Powder Run led by George Rogers Clark (GRC) in 1777.  This event started at the GRC memorial at Old Fort Harrod State Park and included a brief discussion of the history and significance of the event, provided by Richard Quire, a member of both organizations coordinating this event.  The SAR then provided a musket salute as part of the memorial.

Join us for a historical experience inside the Fort on November 22, 2025 as we demonstrate frontier living.  A group of historical interpreters will be around to demonstrate what frontier life was like, and then you can warm yourself in the Ordinary with live music and refreshments.

Please join Fort Harrod and the Mercer Chamber in celebrating the holiday season as we light the lawn up with our Christmas Tree Forest!  The event will occur on November 22, 2025 at 6pm.  Santa and Mrs. Claus will be with us as well!
