Southold Historical Museum: Revolutionary War Reenactment, 9.10th | Sweepstakes | Garden Walk & Talk, 9.22

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Join us for an exciting Revolutionary War reenactment from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, Sept. 10!

The grounds of the Maple Lane Complex, at 55200 Main Road, Southold will be transformed into a living history encampment set up by the reenactors from the Third New York Regiment. The encampment will have tents and everything soldiers would need as they traveled to join up with General Washington and his troops.

Visitors will experience 18th-century camp life, including demonstrations of firearms, military drills, and other daily tasks. There will also be blacksmith and basket weaving demonstrations as well as information about the Daughters of the American Revolution. Admission is free. Donations gladly accepted.

We were so pleased with Joseph Earley, our Bainbridge Memorial Intern this year. Joseph kept busy giving tours at the Museum and assisting in the archive. New for this year, we asked our interns to create much-needed videos of our exhibits, collections, and grounds.

These videos will help us in our communications, promotions, and social media efforts.

Separately, please take a look at a short video Joseph created telling about his experience at Southold Historical Museum this summer! Thank you, Joseph.
