MAY 23, 10AM. WEBB-DEANE-STEVENS MUSEUM REVOLUTIONARY WAR ENCAMPMENT 

Each year the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum Revolutionary War Encampment gets a little bigger and, somehow, even better than one before. 2015 brings even more British Redcoats for a “surprise” attack, the addition of several crafters, and the return of the Big Bear Trading Company - with more reproduction 18 and 19th-century wares for soldiers and civilians alike. The fun begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 23, at 211 Main St., following the Memorial Day parade. Admission to the encampment is free; regular admission rates charged for optional tours of the museum.

The Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum Revolutionary War Encampment gives visitors the chance to interact closely with the spirited members of the 5th Connecticut Regiment, in full colonial dress. Enjoy entertaining demonstrations of 18th-century medicine, open-fire cookery, marching and musket firing, and music. Children are invited to learn to march and perform drills with wooden “muskets.” More info at webb-deane-stevens.org or 860-529-0612.
