1776 – Colonial Location
In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we are syncing up our reenactments with the events of the same time period 250 years ago, So for example at our April 2026 event we will cover some events from Jan – July 1776.
18th-Century Military Demonstration – twice daily 11:00 AM & 3:00 PM
Both Continental and British troops will demonstrate 18th-century military maneuvers. Though similar, you will learn the differences between the two opposing forces. This will be introduced by a rousing fife and drum march and concluded with a booming artillery demonstration.
Medical Demonstration – Immediately after each battle
Stop at the apothecary tent to learn about 18th-century medicine. Several surgical techniques will be demonstrated, and none of them will be frightening to watch.
Projects – see project page for schedule
We offer optional hands-on crafts to make something special to take home. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
