Liberty's Kids 1, Boston Tea Party - Battle of the Hook Preparations





We are once again running the Liberty's Kids series in preparedness to the upcoming Battle of the Hook reenactment coming to Gloucester, Virginia this October, 19th and 20th, 2013.  We will run this entire series until the event.  It is our opinion that this gives a great yet, brief background leading up to the events that occurred both here in Gloucester and in Yorktown, Virginia.

7th Virginia Return To Gloucester - American Revolution This Saturday

The 7th Virginia regiment returns to Gloucester this Saturday, May 25th, 2013.  The volunteers interpret colonial era military movements and demonstrate musket firing as well as canon fire.  This is a once a year event and is only for one day.  If you have never had the opportunity to see these demonstrations, we highly recommend them.

The volunteers all recreate a very authentic colonial militia camp and atmosphere.  The 7th Virginia regiment even has a doctor on hand interpreting colonial medical care.



The above video gives you an idea of some of the demonstrations.





We checked the weather forecast and we are looking at a nice cool overcast day. Temperatures in the lower 70's.  No rain.  Good day to attend this event.  


The good doctor is always a hit as he has a great display and really knows his medicinal history.  Time travel is possible, so come out and support the 7th Virginia Regiment and travel back in time to America's colonial era.  You won't be disappointed.
