On Saturday, September 21, you can talk with living history interpreters to uncover more about the fall campaign of 1777 and learn about the Continental Army. Discover the details of soldier life by talking with interpreters throughout the day, and kids of all ages can practice their drilling and marching under the watchful eye of the commander. Visit the reproduction kitchen to learn what the soldiers had to eat in their rations. Find out what jobs women in the camp did to ensure the army’s survival.
