Nevada City Revolutionary War Days! 8-9 September 2018

Nevada City Revolutionary War Days!
8-9 September 2018

As part of Nevada City's 52nd Annual Constitution Day Parade and Celebration, the Delaware Regiment and Brigade of the American Revolution will set up a Revolutionary War encampment with soldiers, musicians, and civilians demonstrating infantry drill & musket firing, skirmishes, soldiers’ uniforms and camp life, civilian clothing, sewing, book binding/paper making, weaving, spinning, surgery & medicine, and spirited fife & drum music. 

Besides these demonstrations, kids and adults may drill as Minutemen with wooden muskets.   Budding historians can engage in a scavenger-hunt-like history quiz ending at George Washington’s headquarters tent. Members of the Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution will also be present to discuss genealogy and your possible connection to our Patriot ancestors.

Infantry soldiers will represent American Continental regiments representing the Delaware Regiment, the British 33^rd Regiment of Foot, and Colonial Loyalists fighting for the Crown.

Flag raising and lowering at opening and closing times will be accompanied by fife & drum music performed by the California Consolidated Drum Band.  This is California’s official fife & drum band, which will play additional music throughout the day.  

Pioneer Park, Nevada City, CA. 

Saturday September 8 from 10 AM to 5 PM. 

Sunday September 9 from 10 AM to Noon.  

And don’t miss the Constitution Day parade down Nevada City's Broad Street, beginning at 2 PM on Sunday.  Our group is entered as a marching band and will include fifers & drummers, Continental soldiers, Redcoats, Colonial Loyalists, and Civilians.
