Mountain Forge General Merchandise
I went to the Fort Frederick Fair
To see what they had there.
They had so very many things
It fairly made me stare.
They had guns and gear for Long Hunters
Quillwork and paddles for Metis who like to roam
There were the finest goods for the Good Wife
to furnish her hearth and home.
The best of everything be ye lad or lass
have ye much coin or have ye few.
Don’t mind the cost, all is not lost,
Mistress Visa is ready to fund you.

The Fort Frederick Trade Fair in April at the Fort Frederick Maryland State Park near Clear Spring Maryland offers mid to late 1700’s equipment & attire. The merchants are juried and blanket trading is allowed but must be appropriate for the Fair’s time window. I went on Thursday this year primarily to enjoy the photo opportunity.
