Sponsored by Liberty Mountain: The Revolutionary Drama and Project Local Inc.
Ferguson's Loyalists have been portraying this important force and time period of the American Revolution since 2014. We focus on providing accurate, engaging and educational historical programming in western North and South Carolina, for individual events and venues, as well as for professional historical and outdoor dramas, and historical sites and battlefields managed by the National Park Service.
What sets Ferguson's Loyalist Militia apart...
Accurate Portrayals
The Loyalists in the Carolina Backcountry were a formidable presence, they represented as great a threat to American Independence as the British Regulars who trained and led them. We go the extra mile to bring credence and relativity to these important historical figures.
Educational Focus
Ferguson's Loyalist Militia is led by trained and certified educators, and many of our living historians and portrayers are also experienced and qualified educators. We all love bringing history back to life, but teaching about and inspiring others to learn this history is our top focus.
Committed to the Truth
We put propaganda and revisionist texts to the side and focus on information from personal journals and first person accounts that survived the test of time. The past was nuanced and complicated like the present, we capture the complicated truth in every detail of our impressions.
We also bring a real Ferguson Ordnance Rifle and offer live firing demonstrations, as well as marching and training drills with Loyalist Provincials. And we bring our horses and Major Patrick Ferguson commands his troops from horseback using his famous silver whistle.
