Living History Revolutionary Encampment Celebrating America’s Birthday
Event Details
Celebrate America's Birthday Party at Southold Historical Museum's Maple Lane Campus on Saturday, July 11, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, during a special Living History Revolutionary War Encampment commemorating America's 250th.
Experience the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary era as reenactors from the Third New York Regiment recreate an authentic military encampment. Explore soldiers' tents and equipment, learn about daily camp life, and discover what it was like to march with General George Washington's Continental Army.
This family-friendly celebration offers something for everyone. Children can play traditional colonial games in the historic Bayview Schoolhouse and on the museum grounds, while visitors of all ages can join a spirited Hamilton sing-along in the Reichert Family Barn. Throughout the day, enjoy living history demonstrations, artisan vendors, food tastings, light refreshments, and the thunder of a live cannon firing.
The festivities conclude with the presentation of America's birthday cake as we celebrate 250 years of our nation's history and the enduring legacy of 1776.
Location: Southold Historical Museum's Maple Lane Campus, 55200 Main Road, Southold, NY.
