Newtown Battlefield State Park sits high on a forested hilltop with a commanding view of the Chemung River Valley below. It is located in the beautiful Southern Tier area of New York State, near Elmira. Full of pristine, quiet, natural beauty, and rich with history going back hundreds of years, the park is an excellent location for anyone searching for any of these things.
In 1779, General George Washington ordered General John Sullivan to gather an army and form an offensive against the Iroquois Nations and their allies. Because of repeated attacks against the white settlers, his orders were to drive the Indians out of the wilderness of New York, to burn their villages and destroy their crops so they could not return. The army was to push its way northward to the shores of Lake Ontario and to capture the British Forts Oswego and Niagara. As the army of about 5,000 soldiers pushed northward from Pennsylvania, they came to this hill and here, on August 29, 1779, near an Indian Village called New Town, they engaged in a battle.

This is New York State's oldest at age 39 years and largest outdoor Antiques Festival and a highlight of the summer season. Antiques vendors set up all week in fields on both sides of Route 20 and more than 30 shops operate year-round in Madison and Bouckville. Come visit Colony Farm Antiques in Booth M-9 on the Big Field just under the large sun signage to find a beautiful arrray of period antiques, vintage goodies, and jewelry at great prices. See you there!

The event schedule is about to be published, note there will be three main battles over the weekend. Saturday at 11:00-12:00 and 2:00-3:00 a reenactors schedule will be sent to your unit commander or contact person as soon as it is complete.

The Battle of Hubbardton is the only American Revolution battle which took place entirely in Vermont. The date was July 7, 1777. Every year, you can attend the reenactment of the battle on Sunday morning. Around 2 to 300 hundreds reenactors come from New England, New York state and sometimes Canada to spend the week-end there.

The date coincides with the uptown Kingston crafts fest and farmers market that surrounds the Senate House site. Public and participants can walk from 20th C. market fair into 18th C. market fair as they pass through the gate into the grounds of the Senate House State Historic Site on Front Street (a historic district) in Kingston, virtually a seamless transition from one century to the next. The weekend also happens to be two weeks before the 4th of July, so we thought recollecting the eve of our country's declaration of independence would be in order, thus it will be the year 1776 and while British troops are keeping law and order the local militia is training and the citizenry is abuzz with the news from Philadelphia of Congress' debate over American independence (or not!)

Each year the Friends of Monmouth Battlefield co-sponsors, with the DEP, State of New Jersey, an annual reenactment of the battle. The event is usually held on a weekend towards the end of June, in commemoration of the anniversary of the battle being fought on June 28, 1778. Hundreds of troops encamp at the park and recreate scenarios of the battle over the weekend. There are also numerous presentations and lectures, tours of the camps, and sutler area open to the public. A donation of $8.00 per car is requested to attend.

Join us for an exciting and historic weekend April 9 – 10, 2011! The two-day program explores the American Revolutionary War during the timeframe of the Battle of Bound Brook and Middlebrook encampments, 1777 – 1779. Learn about and experience this important period in New Jersey’s and America’s history. Weekend activities include:

18th century Soldiers’ Encampment on the grounds of the Abraham Staats House, 17 von Steuben Lane, South Bound Brook, 08880. Come walk through camp and see what life was like for American and British troops during the time of the American Revolution.

Learn about and experience this important period in New Jersey’s and America’s history.

The 5th annual event will be held on March 5, 6, 7, 2010 and it is quite possibly the first reenactor event of the season. The weekend was created as a means to give a warm thank you to the entire reenacting community as well as provide an opportunity for reenactors and other historical interpreters to get an early start on ordering new uniforms or period dress, refilling supplies, catching up with friends, learning about history and having a great time while doing it. It is a weekend of period dances, lively discussions, workshops, seminars, and shopping with a ladies tea and a gentleman’s cigar and brandy social for both reenactors and the general public thrown in for good measure.

We have an entire community of reenactors who live and breathe history every day. Each era of history, from the Revolutionary War to the present, is represented somewhere at some time by a reenactor who has something to say and teach us all. Through their knowledge of history and their dedication to the historic portrayal of those who lived during each time period we have a means of experiencing times long past.

Sponsored by Smoke & Fire Co., Smiling Fox Forge and Turkey Foot Traders. Held at the Sandusky County Fairgrounds, Ohio route 53 & US 20. Two buildings full of living history! Fine merchants and craftsmen will be selling 18th century and 19th century goods, historical clothing, books, patterns and black powder gun accoutrements.

The Burning of Kingston

On October 16, 1777, during the British campaigne to control the North (Hudson) River & effectively split the New England Colonies/States from the South, a fleet of 23 ships & 2000 troops were sent North to rondezvous & support General Burgoyne's push South from the Champlain Valley to Albany. After Gentleman Johnny's defeat at Saratoga, the support fleet under General Vaughn stopped at Kingston, then capitol of New York, to punish this "nest of villians" & the badly outnumbered Militia had no choice but to flee as
the Brittish troops burned every building but one in the time allowed them.

Every two years The First Ulster Milita, in cooperation with the City of Kingston, commemorates this event with a major weekend reenactment. Begining Friday evening with a Committee of Safety Meeting, traditionally held at a present day tavern in one of the original stone houses that was burned in the attack, the event moves to the landing of the Birtish troops the next morning & the attack on the Historic Stockade District. Last year (2007) drew one of the largest collection of 18th century wooden boats of any in the Northeast & on Sunday we were able to recreate the persuit of the gunboat galley "Lady Washington" on the Rondout Creek by members of the British fleet with our new vessel, Pettiauger "Mercury", portraying "Lady Washington".

The next Burning of Kingston Reenactment is now official. It is planned to coincide with the Quadricentenial of Henry Hudson's discovery & exploration of the Hudson in 1609.
