Redcoats and Rebels

[NutmegCT]

This coming weekend at Old Sturbridge Village, we're having the biggest re-enactment event of the year. "Redcoats to Rebels" brings together over 1000 re-enactors from the Revolutionary War period, for a three day encampment. Visitors can wander through the camps, talk with the units, see the "life styles", and watch mock battles all over the village and fields. Fun time. Here's a video from last year's event:
