About the event

http://www.fortmifflin.us/our-programs/educational-programs/

We will be onsite with the 4 Connecticut and also about 30 boy scouts. We will be onsite starting on Friday evening through Sunday morning/evening (depending on schedule, etc.). Event ends Sunday afternoon at 3pm. This is an immersion weekend where we will be as 18th century as possible. Everyone participating will be assuming a role of an actual person that was at the Fort!

We will be the detachment of Delaware Continentals sent to assist Lt Col Smith at Fort Mifflin in 1777. We will portray the following:

1 Captain - Cord Hazzard (Delaware Continental Captain)

1 Sergeant

1 Fifer

12 Privates

Additional Civilians (If possible - can you take on a military role for this weekend? - If not - still aok)

An agenda and specific name and role will be given out to participants that sign up. Again - we will be doing things like guard duty, creating fascines, cheveaux de frises (not full scale), ensuring the fort is well protected and many other things that we can't tell you (shh...it's a secret)! All you need to do is bring your full kit and enjoy turning the clock back to 1777! Definitely bring blankets too. For two nights you will be overnighting in the fort itself.

All food and beverages will be taken care of for the weekend at Fort Mifflin. Prior to the start of this event there is the option on Friday afternoon to going to the Museum of the American Revolution for an hour or two and then to City Tavern for a nice colonial meal...and then on to the Fort! Please indicate if you wish to do this to your leader.
