18th-Century Military Demonstration – twice daily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both Continental and British troops will demonstrate 18th-century military maneuvers. Though similar, you will learn the differences between the two opposing forces. This will be introduced by a rousing fife and drum march and a booming artillery demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical Demonstration – Immediately after each battle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stop at the surgeon tent to learn about 18th-century medicine. Several surgical techniques will be demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candle Dipping – All day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Made from beeswax and beef tallow. Come and dip your own candle to light the way before the shorter nights of winter arrive. $3 each (paid at registration tent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cider Press – All day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cider was one of the most common beverages of the colonies. Come try the press and then drink some of the fruits of your labor (apple harvest permitting)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects – see project page<\/a> for times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
