Yesterday's Open House was among the most interesting we've had this year - at least in my opinion. As we all know, 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. It's been a very busy year for those who "teach" history in whatever form. Many such folks have been booked solidly for nearly every weekend this year. And, most are volunteers!

Our little band of reenactors from the 25th Continental Regiment set up a campsite with tent and canopy, and
Authentic-looking costumes & paraphernalia. Their spokesperson, Rob, proceeded to tell us lots of "stuff" (that's my inadequate attempt to summarize the nature of the info presented) about the 25th itself and the revolution more broadly.

There were good questions from the audience, a good discussion and a pleasant, low-key afternoon.
Thanks to the 25th for showing up and adding some color and substance to our understanding of some of the events of 1776!
