Fort Henry Days 2025 is a wrap and what an amazing weekend it has been. We say it all the time, but it's true, our FHD reenactors are like one big family. Funny, thoughtful, caring, and selflessly and unfailingly willing to help wherever & whenever needed. We are truly blessed to have each and every one of you.

Thank you also to everyone who came to see us & learn about our local history. You are the reason we have this event. We have the best public attendees! We've been told by our reenactors, who go to many events every year, that you all are more eager to learn and ask so many more great questions than they get at other events. Great job Ohio Valley!

We can't thank everyone enough for all of your donations that will make next year's event possible. We are deeply touched by your generosity. ❤

If you have photos from this weekend please tag us, or feel free to share them in the comments. We'd love to see them!
We can't wait to see you all again next year, September 5 & 6, 2026, as we celebrate our Nation's 250th birthday!
