Description

Historic Soldiers Weekend is a historical encampment, featuring re-enactors, and their equipment, from every American conflict, spanning from the French and Indian War to the Vietnam War. In some instances, both sides of the conflicts will be present, such as the revolutionary war loyalists and "redcoats", civil war confederate units, and WWII German infantry units. The re-enactment units will be marching and camping out for the weekend in and around HISTORIC Fort Mifflin, living, for the weekend, as their ancestors did. This extensive display will feature a range of authentic historical items from Revolutionary War muskets to the War of 1812 cook wear, from Civil War troop tents to WWII vehicles. There will be presentations from famous 1st person historical figures, who will tell their story, plenty of various weapons demonstrations and numerous examples of military drill and marching styles. Want to actually see what the life of a typical soldier was like, from the French and Indian War through the Vietnam War? Educators and parents, do you want to give your children a chance to witness some of the things they are reading about in school? Then please come to HISTORIC Fort Mifflin, and take a walk through history. For registration or more information visit www.historicsoldiersweekend.com.
