"For King and Colony!" :French and Indian War Weekend
Saturday, April 2 & Sunday, April 3 http://www.barracks.org/
10 AM - 5 PM

Join us as we journey back to the 1760’s, a time just before the American Revolution, when New Jersey was embroiled in another earlier conflict known as the French and Indian War. Come see first-hand what military life was like in the colonies during times of loyalty to the King of England. Visitors are invited to experience the excitement of a garrison town after a long winter, as the troops would have prepared to move back into battle.
Supplemental activities throughout the day will include morning roll call, musket demonstrations, and presentations by George Bray on the British expedition to take Fort Frontenac by the Jersey Blues. Children are invited to make their own powderhorn, learn how to write with a quill pen, and try on the uniforms of 18th century soldiers.
Included in regular cost of admission: $8-Adults, $6-Seniors/Students, Free-Children 5 and under/Active Military/Members of the Old Barracks Association. Parking for this weekend is free and conveniently located in the small lot directly next to the museum.

Shirley's and Pepperrell's

From the wiki:

Two regiments were raised locally with funds supplied by the British Crown, entering the army list as the 50th (Shirley's) and 51st (Pepperrell's) Regiments of Foot. Both regiments took part in the disastrous British campaign of 1755/56. Overwintering near Lake Ontario, the force occupied three forts, Oswego, Ontario and George, collectively known as Fort Pepperrell. Surrounded and besieged by a French force under Montcalm, both regiments surrendered after the local commander was killed. A fair number of the prisoners were massacred by the Indian allies of the French before they reached Montreal. Both regiments were subsequently removed from the army list.
