Speak with knowledgeable living historians will portray Continental Army soldiers and local militia, offering an authentic look at the courage, sacrifice, and daily realities of those who fought for American independence. Discover what life was truly like for the men who served during our nation’s founding. Watch marching and military drill demonstrations as soldiers maneuver just as they did over two centuries ago.
