Valley Chapter members, family and friends enjoyed a picnic while touring the encampment of volunteers representing the American
and British soldiers. It was fascinating to see how food was prepared and the actual size of a musket ball. There were over 100 volunteers
all dressed in uniforms of the period. Here British soldiers invade
our picnic!
The recreation of the Revolutionary War battle was realistic with authentic artillery, mortar and muskets used to give spectators the feeling that
they were actually at the battle. You can see that smoke was a typical part of every battlefield.
