Redcoats & Rebels

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

August 7 – August 8

The largest military re-enactment in New England — more than 800 soldiers portraying British, Hessian, Irish, Welsh, Scots, French and Colonial troops. Mock battles, cannon demo’s, fife and drums and more.

The Village is transformed into a military camp focusing this year on the period of the War for Independence, as it was known in early New England. Come see what it was really like for those who fought to win America’s freedoms.  Great fun for the entire family!

Watch a video from last year’s event.

Named a Best of New England event by Yankee magazine.
