Living History Festival at Colonial Fort Conde

November 15th, 2025Event has already occurred

Mobile

Experience the 18th century at Colonial Fort Condé as history is brought to life through the demonstration of everyday activities of Mobile’s past. How did they do their laundry? Did they really use a feather to write with? What money did they use? Did they bathe? Find out these answers and many more when you visit on November 16th!  In addition to stations teaching about daily life, there will also be musket and sword fighting demonstrations every hour, as well as our local chapter of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers.

 In the event of inclement weather, activities will be moved indoors.
