Visitors will experience: \n\nLiving History Encampments – Explore authentic frontier camps and learn about daily life on the Tennessee frontier during the Revolutionary era\nCherokee Cultural Interpretations – Learn about Cherokee history\, lifeways\, and the broader Cherokee War of 1776. Displays/activities will include regional Native American artifacts with the tribal archaeologist on hand to answer questions\, Cherokee leather crafts and Native American music played on a Cherokee flute throughout the day\nHistoric Foodways – Discover the foods\, cooking methods\, and survival skills used by frontier settlers and Cherokee communities.\nBattlefield Interpretation – Learn how the battle unfolded through maps\, historical analysis and interpretation of the Island Flats battlefield.\nHistoric Weapons Demonstrations – See period long rifles\, trade guns and other historic firearms with scheduled firing demonstrations and a display of war clubs with a weapons demonstration by the Cherokee War Chief.\nPrimary Sources & Historical Documents – View reproductions of original Revolutionary-era documents relating to the battle and its aftermath.\n\nOn Sunday\, July 26\, at 1 pm\, Cherokee Medicine Man Lee “Ewani” Eames will give a presentation on “The Healing Herbs of the Appalachian Mountains.” He will bring with him some of the herbs that our ancestors have used for centuries throughout east Tennessee and surrounding areas\, that have helped to heal and sustain both European and Native American descendants alike. \nSponsored by Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Homes and Exchange Place\, this free event is part of Fun Fest.

SUMMARY:Battle of Island Flats 250th Anniversary Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special 250th anniversary commemoration interpreting the Battle of Island Flats — the first major battle of the Cherokee War of 1776 and one of the opening conflicts of the American Revolution on the southern frontier — on Saturday\, July 25\, from 10 am to 3 pm and Sunday\, July 26\, from noon to 3 pm at Exchange Place Living History Farm\, 4812 Orebank Road in Kingsport. \nFought near the Long Island of the Holston in July 1776\, the battle saw frontier settlers and Virginia militia from Virginia’s New River Valley clash with Cherokee warriors led by Dragging Canoe during a coordinated campaign against the expanding settlements along the Holston\, Watauga\, and Nolichucky rivers. The battle marked a major turning point in the struggle for control of the southern Appalachian frontier and helped open Southwest Virginia\, upper East Tennessee\, and eventually Kentucky to expanding settlement. \nAt this two-day commemoration Cherokee interpreters from the Appalachian region and Virginia militia living historians will bring the frontier world of the 18th-century to life near the very landscape where these dramatic events unfolded. Visitors will experience: \n\nLiving History Encampments – Explore authentic frontier camps and learn about daily life on the Tennessee frontier during the Revolutionary era\nCherokee Cultural Interpretations – Learn about Cherokee history\, lifeways\, and the broader Cherokee War of 1776. Displays/activities will include regional Native American artifacts with the tribal archaeologist on hand to answer questions\, Cherokee leather crafts and Native American music played on a Cherokee flute throughout the day\nHistoric Foodways – Discover the foods\, cooking methods\, and survival skills used by frontier settlers and Cherokee communities.\nBattlefield Interpretation – Learn how the battle unfolded through maps\, historical analysis and interpretation of the Island Flats battlefield.\nHistoric Weapons Demonstrations – See period long rifles\, trade guns and other historic firearms with scheduled firing demonstrations and a display of war clubs with a weapons demonstration by the Cherokee War Chief.\nPrimary Sources & Historical Documents – View reproductions of original Revolutionary-era documents relating to the battle and its aftermath.\n\nOn Sunday\, July 26\, at 1 pm\, Cherokee Medicine Man Lee “Ewani” Eames will give a presentation on “The Healing Herbs of the Appalachian Mountains.” He will bring with him some of the herbs that our ancestors have used for centuries throughout east Tennessee and surrounding areas\, that have helped to heal and sustain both European and Native American descendants alike. \nSponsored by Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Homes and Exchange Place\, this free event is part of Fun Fest.
