A LIVING HISTORY DAY WITH CANNONS & MUSKETS

Join us at Tilly Foster Farm for a living history display on Saturday, July 14th from 10:00AM - 3:00PM. The grounds at Tilly Foster will feature a group of soldiers from 200 years ago as the The War of 1812 Reenactors mark the bi-centennial of this historic war.

Demonstration cannon firings will take place every hour on the half hour starting at 10:30AM; black powder musket firings will take place throughout the day. In addition, visitors will view exhibitions by Colonial craftsmen. 

Smoke and noise will fill the air as the soldiers fire a 700 pound light artillery cannon.
