Step back in time to experience the life of a soldier in the American Revolution at a military encampment and living history day on Saturday, May 3 between noon and 4 pm. The reenactment is part of Out to See Duxbury, a community-wide celebration of Duxbury’s rich cultural and educational heritage.
Join reenactors from Colonel Bailey’s 2nd Massachusetts Regiment for military drills, music, and living history demonstrations. Explore blacksmithing, colonial foodways, linen and wool spinning demonstrations, activities for kids, tours of Alden House and much more.
There will also be a re-enactment of Duxbury’s 1775 “Council of War,” showcasing three tumultuous days in April of 1775 following the Battles of Lexington and Concord 250 years ago, as Duxbury leaders determined their military response to the opening days of the war.
Admission is free; it is funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. Out to See Duxbury is sponsored by the Duxbury Community Collaborative.
