Description
From the National Park Service:
If you had to leave your home in a hurry, uncertain of your return, what would you take with you? Learn about the local civilians on April 19, 1775 who struggled to save their families and belongings from the path of war. Meet living history volunteers at the Hartwell Tavern and the Captain William Smith House portraying Colonial civilians.
Starting at 11:45 am, with the sounds of battle approaching, they will hastily close up the house and head off down the road. We invite you to join them and be a part of the scenario! Interact with the reenactors and learn the stories of ordinary women and men whose lives were suddenly upended by war.
Please note: The civilian evacuation scenario will begin at the Hartwell Tavern at 11:45 a.m. and end near the Parker’s Revenge Site, a distance of nearly 2 miles. There you will be directed to the viewing area to see the tactical demonstration at 1:00 p.m.
