event action this weekend

Old Fort Niagara

 

If your last visit to Old Fort Niagara was in 4th grade, it's time to return! Come to the French & Indian War Encampment this Friday through Sunday, July 3-5! Visit French and British living history camps, listen to period music, watch lacrosse and cricket games, invite your children to "enlist" to defend the increasingly threatened French fort. We are your history headquarters!

From their Facebook page
'Our appearance at The American Museum in Britain on the weekend of July 4th/5th sees our final attendance in the guise of the Coldstream Guards before our reappearance in the uniforms of the 5th Foot, a massive project that has combined all the dedication, talents and efforts of the members over the past three years. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the friends, members and former members of the Society who have supported us since our formation in 1982 and we look forward to seeing you and our new friends as the 5th Regiment of Foot in the future.'

I started a French and Indian group in the mid-late 90s. Here's a pic of one of those post battle line ups.

Waterloo 1815-2015

Well it seems to have been a success - well done to those who took part. I feel a little jealous as I used to be a Napoleonic reenactor  - but I am too old now - events like Waterloo are physically demanding - I only did one Waterloo in 1990 and my feet still are sore from all that marching.
Anyway - there's some great photos on this blog
