1778 64th Light Infantry Co. At AHM
June 5, 2021 @ 10:00 am, ending 5:00 pm
$20
The 64th Light Infantry Company portrays the original Company that was commanded by Captain Thomas Armstrong until 1778. The Company was then taken over by Captain William Snow for the remainder of the war. As we are portraying an actual Regiment, we strive to be as accurate as possible, using period source documents to support any changes made to uniforms and/or kits. Our goal is to educate the public about the role of British soldiers and the 64th Regiment of Foot for the time period of 1775 to 1781 during the American Revolution.
The re-enactor group is based in New England with members in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. It’s a family-friendly unit and you’ll often find wives, girlfriends, and children depicting Camp Followers, offering cooking demonstrations, showing spectators period toys, and more.
