The CFHS is excited to announce that we will be hosting a battle reenactment on September 14th and 15th. Join us for a historical journey back to September 11th 1777 when the British army engaged Washington’s troops at Chads’ Ford. Two timed skirmishes and a firing demo will take place each day. Additionally, reenactors, camp followers, demonstrators and other historians will be on site for all to engage with. Live music, food, and beverages will be available.
Additionally for the kids: 2pm Saturday and Sunday, “School of the Soldier” with 1st Delaware. Experience what it would be like to be a soldier in Washington’s Army. Youth will join the Regiment on the field using wooden muskets learning drill and firing commands.
Mark your calendars for this wonderful event!
