The Redcoats Are Coming...


We had an incredible day at Old Sturbridge Village, stepping back in time(making sure not to step in any horse droppings in the process!)to the Revolutionary War. We saw all manner of troops associated with the War; saw a fashion show based on newspaper ads describing servants who had disappeared with their master's goods; watched a demonstration on medical equipment; watched a pie being baked(from the look of it a main ingredient was flies!); and saw a battle between the Redcoats and the Colonists...On this day we let the British win!!! Hope you enjoy the photos and the journey back to another century.
