Join us at the Escape from Boston Revolutionary War Reenactment on May 20-21, 2017 at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, Massachusetts. The Escape from Boston Revolutionary War Reenactment is a weekend encampment and battle scenario that plays out this “what-if” scenario that might have changed the course of the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

Come watch the colonial forces battle with the British Redcoats to determine our destiny as a nation. There will be colonial shopkeepers selling their wares, 18th c. craftspeople demonstrating early trades, modern food vendors, and tents by Ipswich Ale and other local vendors. The Escape from Boston Revolutionary War Reenactment is a great day for the whole family, and a great experience for the participating reenactors. Come join us for the history, for the education, and for the fun!<\/p>\n

Reenactment Scenario<\/strong>
\nThe year is 1775 and the British Regulars are besieged in Boston, surrounded by thousands of local militia and Minutemen in a line that stretches for many miles. This is their one shot to break through the siege line with their mighty army. General Gage picks what he perceives to be the weakest part of the line and hits it hard. The ensuing battle will determine if he is a hero for the crown, or a goat!<\/p>\n

Meet Revolutionary War Soldiers from both sides of the conflict. Members of the Continental Line and His Majesty\u2019s First Regiment of Foot Guards re-enact a retreat from Boston with cannon, cavalry, and drills throughout the day. Learn how battles were planned and how camp life was managed. Tour the 1690 manor house, the home of two of Newburyport\u2019s Revolutionary War heroes! Sip an Ipswich Ale Brewery cask ale, a local beer brewed in the old style. Watch the Essex Base Ball Association play demonstration games of early cricket. Fresh food and drink will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n
