Colonial Times – A Day to Remember

For 35 years, the Living History Park has brought our colonial past (from 1735 to 1785) to life through demonstrations and living exhibits.

Reenactors will be available for demonstrations and to answer questions throughout the park. Play colonial games, sing songs, and sample baked goods! Try your hand at colonial dancing or see if you are fit to join the militia!

Featured attractions will include apothecary skills, pottery, weaving and spinning, candle making, musket firing demonstrations, gunsmithing, blacksmithing, needlework, woodworking, and smoking/curing meat. Be sure to stop by and visit with the Indian traders, the baker, potter, backwoodsmen, milliner, tavern keeper, and the sutlers on Sutlers Row. Stop into the Village Mercantile and New Windsor Cabinet shop to see the lathe that was used in the movie The Patriot.

This year’s new attractors are the Carolina Thunder Mugs and the Slave Dwelling Project.

Come visit Saturday, Oct 16 from 10 am to 5 pm and on Sunday, Oct 17 from 10 am to 4 pm.
