Living History Weekend at Bidwell Museum

Berkshire250, Exhibits, Family Friendly, History and Heritage, Outdoor Event

,

October 4 | 10:00 am - 4:00 pm  

$15 – $40

As you drive down Art School Road, you will be able to leave the modern world behind and enter a time when fire was used for cooking, everyone lived off the land and muskets were the weapon of choice. This living history weekend will open on Saturday morning at 10 am and there will be talks that day about Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren and coffee house culture. In between these talks will be tactical and artillery demonstrations and the camp will close at 4. On Sunday morning, the event will again begin at 10 am and the day will include talks about sutlers and Baroness Fredrika Reidesel, whose husband fought with the British side. There will also be an afternoon tactical demonstration. Throughout each day, visitors will be able to walk through the camps and talk to people portraying British and Continental soldiers, the followers who supplied the armies and learn about midwifery and woman’s issues.
