BHS: The Revolutionary War Experience

The Brewster Colonial Artillery Company and the Yarmouth Minutemen will be in period dress and drill with “Alice,” the Unit’s muzzle-loading cannon, as well as demonstrate manual arms and firing the muzzle-loading musket known as “Brown Bess.”

There will be lessons in writing with a quill pen, playing trap ball (a sort of colonial baseball with a twist!), and opportunities to speak with militia members about colonial life, the Cape’s role in the Revolution, and the resulting Republic’s evolution as a Nation State.
