Militia men, women, and children will decamp on the grounds of historic Belmont Hall to replay a skirmish that took place at the 18th Century home of Thomas Collins, the 8th Governor of Delaware. No live shots will be fired, yet authentic Colonial customs will be enlivened by the appearances of period dancers, wandering minstrels, artisans, and street food vendors.
The Friends of Belmont Hall, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that hosted the same event last year, will arrange this encore presentation.
Revolutionary War Day has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: “Democracy demands wisdom.”
Historic Belmont Hall, Smyrna Leipsic Road, Smyrna, DE, USA
Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
