In May 1780, Commandant François Vallé sent the Ste. Genevieve militia north to help defend St. Louis against a coordinated British and Native American attack during the Battle of Fort San Carlos.
Through reenactment and expert storytelling by
Ronnie Rayfield and company, you’ll get to know
some of the 60 men from Ste. Genevieve who took part in one of the westernmost battles of the American Revolutionary War.
This fully outfitted regiment will set up camp on the Orris Stage, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and the role Ste. Genevieve played in helping defend the frontier—and ultimately secure American independence.
