Glover’s Marblehead Regiment hosts Revolutionary War encampment

For the Item

July 5, 2023 by For the Item

MARBLEHEAD — Travel back in time to the 18th century at a Revolutionary-War-era encampment with activities for all the family. Glover’s Marblehead Regiment is pleased to welcome you to visit Fort Sewall in Marblehead on July 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admittance is free.

See Fort Sewall transform into a busy military camp, manned with soldiers and sailors as well as civilian townspeople and camp followers. Explore newly-restored fort structures and learn about the role of the fort in times of conflict.

Meet the people: Speak with men and women of the 18th century and learn about the history of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment. Hear how they saved the Revolution, not once but three times — culminating in their role in Washington’s crossing of the Delaware.

Immerse yourself in history: Tour our 18th-century military camp — see trade demonstrations and militia musket drills. You will hear music, including fife and drum concerts from the 18th century throughout the day. Refresh yourself with 18th-century snacks and shop for modern regimental swag. Your children will, on two occasions during the day, have the opportunity to sign up with the regiment, and then drill and march to the beat of a drum alongside regiment members.

Witness what happens when British soldiers and Royal Navy sailors attempt to send foraging parties ashore in Marblehead. Watch as two skirmishes between the Crown forces and Continental militia are played out on the shoreline and woods of Marblehead.

In the early afternoon, watch a musket-firing contest, and, as camp closes, join with our soldier-sailors as they regale the public with sea-chanteys. For all of this, we ask nothing but your interest and perhaps, a donation to the regiment so we may continue our mission to keep the revolutionary spirit alive in the 21st century. Full details of our schedule of events may be seen at www.gloversregiment.org.
