The “Rendezvous”:

A grand social event for all, “rendezvous” was the only time during the year when old friends could meet and learn of events “back in the settlements”, swap tales of their high adventures, and competitively test their frontier skills.  What will you experience? The crack of a muzzleloader. The aroma of a meal simmering over an open campfire. The sight of frontier families, fur trappers, long hunters and Native American participants dressed in period clothing. As you stroll around the grounds, you will see glimpses of life as it was lived in the mountains during those glorious times and may even hear bagpipes and other music. At any given rendezvous you will see individuals dressed from formal colonial wear to full Native American regalia. Attending a Rendezvous is a very pleasant way to spend one's vacation since modern intrusions are not to be seen or heard!

The 2027 NRLHF Southeastern Primitive Rendezvous will be held at Historic Fort Mitchell, AL which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990, featuring reconstructions and archaeological remnants of the early frontier fort. The area was originally a garrisoned fort intended to provide defense during the Creek War (1813-1814). It also served as a base for one of the last campaigns in the War of 1812.
