In a secluded valley, through which winds a well-travelled road there lurks... DANGER! Beware wayfaring strangers, or you shall be waylaid! In this deceptively peaceful hollow, those who live outside the law are waiting for opportunity... Highwaymen stalk the roads. Pirates lurk in the creek. All sorts of undesirables will descend upon Historic Tunnel Mill in Charlestown, Indiana for a weekend of fun... At least until the Magistrates arrive!
Throughout the weekend, visitors will see a variety of historical "bad guys", period street performers, confidence men, cannon demonstrations, and live Celtic folk music! There is plenty to see and experience! Reenactors from the time-period 1700-1820 will be on hand to talk about life in that time.
Our spies have informed us that there will be an attack on the 200-year-old Historic John Work House by ruffians around 11:00 AM on Saturday. At 2:00 PM, the local authorities will send the militia out to remove the undesirable vagrants in Brigand's Grove... Will it work? Watch the battle and find out! On Sunday the excitement continues when the brigands retaliate by attempting to capture the militia captain at 11:00 AM. At 2:00 PM on Sunday, the militia will attempt to put down the Brigand's Grove rebellion once and for all!! Come see what happens!
Admission is free and parking is only $5 per car! Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy our historical park! Guaranteed to be fun for the whole family!
