King George III's Birthday Celebration

King George III's Birthday Celebration 
Saturday, June 7, 1-4pm
Marlpit Hall 137 Kings Highway
Middletown, NJ 07748


Within the British Empire, including the American Colonies, celebration of the King's birthday was one of the social events of the year.  Guests will experience this day in the manner it might have been celebrated in the home of Loyalist Edward Taylor. Historical re-enactors dressed as Edward and wife, Mary Ogborne Taylor will welcome guests.  There will be sewing demonstrations and musical entertainment of the period will be played on the harpsichord and recorder, as presented by "The Practitioners of Musick" with John Burkhalter of Princeton.    
Light refreshments will be served and admission is free. Parking is available at the adjacent Middletown Village School.
