Description
From the library:
Have you ever wondered who the people are who march through town in the before dawn hours of Patriots Day, waking up people by firing off muskets, blaring fifes and beating drums?
Come meet and talk with members of the Stow Minutemen and the Assabet Village Minutemen, and learn more about the local events on the original Patriots Day, as well as what it’s like to be modern reenactors. All ages welcome.
We’ll bring some colonial toys for the children to try. Maybe you’ll even decide to join us for the march or more (even as modern civilians)!
The Stow Minuteman Company was reactivated in 1965 by order of the Stow Selectmen, to "preserve and perpetuate the memory and spirit of our forebears and to promote an active interest in Revolutionary history".
We are a non-profit organization, and our members include musket men, fifers & drummers, and families. We strive to bring alive 18th century New England through living history demonstrations, colonial reenactments, music performances, and parades. Family participation is encouraged at all levels and ages, musket training and free music instruction is provided, and we wish to extend an invitation to anyone to JOIN UP!
