We will have an informal picnic starting at noon and concluding by 1:00pm. This will give us time to explore the encampment and see the battle. You are welcome to bring friends and family. There is no cost for this event except for the parking fee at Cantigny Park. To find the Fox Valley SAR compatriots take the left (north) parking lot and drive to the end (east). We will have a picnic table with the SAR table flags. To see a map (pdf file) of Cantigny, click here. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow compatriots and to see a recreation of a battle of the Revolutionary War. You can either bring food and drink with you or you can purchase them at Cantigny. See you there.
