Reenactors from several Connecticut and British Regiments will take over the quaint seaport town at Mystic Seaport Museum for a day. Witness what it was like to be a member of a Continental Regiment or British Regiment during these tumultuous times in American history. Learn what it was like for a British soldier to live aboard ship during the long voyage to the colonies and hear about 18th-century medical practices from a ship’s surgeon. See how British rule affected the everyday life of continental families and watch demonstrations of sewing, cooking, and carpentry. Join in the Grand Celebration Parade at 12:00 as news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence reaches the seaport.
