The
Stamp Act: Although this act was never enforced in the colonies,
guests and students are given dialogue lines to speak, and a transaction to
conclude with the proposed stamp distributor for Boston, Andrew Oliver.
Mr. Oliver does his best to show the guests and students how thoroughly
"taxing" the Stamp Act might have been.
Additional "Village Posts" or stations include 18th century etiquette,
the physics of the plumping mill, kitchen gardens, cider pressing, the
"kit" of a minuteman, 18th century games. |

Lunch Time
A Glorified Soldier's Ration of Cheese,
Jerked Beef, Corn Bread, Cider or Lemonade & Fruit |
|
| |
A
Revolutionary War soldier's life, if the journal of
Continental soldier Joseph Plumb Martin is any guide, is one of
near constant searching for food. By those
standards, our meal of fresh corn bread, beef jerkey, cheese,
fruit and cider or lemonade is a veritable
feast! (Some groups choose to supplement this lunch
with their own, or one from our kitchen. The choice is
yours.) |

|
| |
The
Raid on St. George's Tavern: in June of 1775, St. George Tavern was
in a singularly bad spot, right between two opposing armies.
In this recreation of 18th century line battle, guest are "armed" with wooden sticks and fake gun stocks, then assigned to either
the British or the Colonial side.
