This page is focused on the French-Indian War living history group at Fort Toulouse; La Compagnie Franche de la Marine du Fort Toulouse.


About the Group:

La Compagnie Franche de la Marine du Fort Toulouse is a living history organization dedicated to researching, recreating, and reenacting the everyday life of the French Marines, their families, and the Native allies. This is all for personal enjoyment as well as for public education. The company participates in many reenactments across the nation, as well as a continuing monthly program at Fort Toulouse. The group generally meets for Garrison on the third weekend of every month, with the exception of April and November, when larger events are scheduled at Fort Toulouse/Fort Jackson: each spring the company hosts the French and Indian War Encampment in April, and participates in Alabama Frontier Days in November.
