These groups include the host Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie, local groups including the Middlesex County Volunteers, William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum Corps, Middlesex 4-H Fife and Drum Corps, Lincoln Minutemen, Stow Minutemen and Regimental Music of Saintonge and other groups.<\/p>\n<p>The grand parade of fifes and drums will begin at noon and will be followed directly by a performance by each of the corps attending. The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife &amp; Drum Muster is a celebration rather than a competition. The corps appear by invitation, and attend to share their music and friendship with other Fife &amp; Drum Corps.<\/p>\n<p>In the days preceding the Revolutionary War, militia would usually muster to drill twice each year, once in the spring and the other in the fall. Following their drill, the militia would be joined by their families and celebrate with good food and drink, music and games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission &amp; Hours<\/strong><br \/>\nAdmission: $2 (donation) for adults in contemporary dress<br \/>\nHours: 11:30 pm &#8211; 5:00 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Day at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife &amp; Drum Muster<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Sudbury Companies of Militia &amp; Minute and the Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie host this full day of Revolutionary War era living history. The militia will execute its manual of arms. Then contra dancers will entertain the morning crowd in the main muster field. Soon after that, the Sudbury militia will call for an assembly, the town crier announce that the town of Sudbury had formed a local militia and then introduce the newly elected officers of the Sudbury Companies. Shortly after the colonel begins drilling his militia, British Regulars will arrive to arrest the newly installed colonel. The militia watch as their colonel is put in stocks and later taken away. They then pursue the Redcoats and exchange musket fire along the service road. When the musket fire ends, the Redcoats surrender.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19448\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife &amp; Drum Muster\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sudbury-Colonial-Fair-21-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px;\">Day at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife &amp; Drum Muster<\/h4>\n<p>Fifes and drums will then be heard in the distance as they assemble for their parade from the Grist Mill to the muster field.

Fife and Drum Corps are a musical group that consists of flutes or fifes and drums. In the US, fife and drum corps specializing in colonial period impressions with wooden fifes and wooden rope tension snare drums and bass drums are known as Ancient Fife and Drum Corps. \r\n\r\nMost fife and drum corps events include marches in parades, concert performances in festivals and state fairs, and expositions. Many Fife and Drum Corps events take place at Forts of different eras that dot the US (Fort Ticonderoga, Old Fort Niagra, etc.). Some fife and drum corps focus on interpreting a specific time period and spend some time portraying field musicians of the era at living history events. Still others perform together at musters, particularly in the Northeast, but also nationally.\r\n\r\nThe typical uniforms of the Ancient Fife and Drum Corps is a representation of some American Revolutionary War American military uniform. Often seen are tricorn hats, waistcoats, knickers or knee breeches, ruffled cuffs, neck stocks, buckled shoes similar those by the Continental Army and Marines. More recently, American Civil War uniforms have risen in prominence with uniforms and instrumentation based on actual Civil War units.","parent":0,"count":27,"filter":"raw","id":238,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/238","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Living History Events","slug":"living-history-events","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":109,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":366,"filter":"raw","id":109,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/109","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Market Fair","slug":"market-fair","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":276,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"<strong>What is an 18th Century Market Fair?<\/strong>\r\nAmerican colonial times, by definition were pre 18th century. This was literally when there were American colonies, later becoming states. The Colonial Market Fair would then by that same definition be an 18th Century Market Fair. The early market fairs in the first settlements, such as Jamestown and Williamsburg, were allowed and regulated by law. The Williamsburg digital library has a lengthy article written in 1955,\r\n<a class=\"blue\" href=\"http:\/\/research.history.org\/DigitalLibrary\/View\/index.cfm?doc=ResearchReports%5CRR0069.xml\" target=\"_New\">Eighteenth Century Fairs<\/a> by Mary R. M. Goodwin that represents a collection of these early laws, showing the transition of the earliest fairs to more and less regulated fairs, that could be said are the colonial, eastern version of what would become the Rocky Mountain fur trade and western redezvous between 1823 and 1840.\r\n\r\n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=\"Read more\"]\r\nThe colonial fair was first and foremost a market \"for the sale and vending of all manner of cattle, victuals, provisions, goods, wares, and merchandizes.\" Prizes, \"or bounties,\" were sometimes offered for the best stock and poultry. The fair was also a place where men met to make and pay debts. Land, houses, storehouses, and personal property were offered for sale at fairs - privately and by public auction. Occasionally, a lottery was drawn at a fair.\r\n\r\nA controlling idea regarding the earliest 18th century market fairs seems to be to maintain the control that England had on the flow and taxing of manufactured goods into America. Ultimately this would fail as America was too large and growing larger. Colonial boycotts of these finished English controlled goods (even tea which though not made in England was controlled by them) led to the development of early American manufacturing efforts. It has interesting ties now to contemporary issues in recent decades that has seen for the first time since these early colonial days, a net outflow of American manufacturing capacity.\r\n[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]","parent":0,"count":32,"filter":"raw","id":276,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/276","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Same week in month","slug":"same-week-in-month","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":271,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":248,"count":679,"filter":"raw","id":271,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/271","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories","up":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/248"}},{"name":"US Historic Reenactor Events","slug":"us-historic-reenactor-events","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":103,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":77,"filter":"raw","id":103,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/103","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Revolutionary War Reenactment","slug":"revolutionary-war-reenactment","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":433,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":46,"filter":"raw","id":433,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/433","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Sudbury Colonial Faire","slug":"sudbury-colonial-faire","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1458,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":1458,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1458","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife &amp; Drum Muster","slug":"sudbury-colonial-faire-and-fife-drum-muster","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1457,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":1457,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1457","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Sudbury Fife &amp; Drum Muster","slug":"sudbury-fife-drum-muster","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1459,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","id":1459,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/1459","collection":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":8571,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2016-10-02 14:03:20","date_utc":"2016-10-02 14:03:20","modified":"2017-04-11 12:50:42","modified_utc":"2017-04-11 12:50:42","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/venue\/wayside-inn-2\/","venue":"Wayside Inn","description":"<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-1 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-0 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\"><p>Longfellow&#8217;s Wayside Inn, a nationally significant Massachusetts Historic Landmark, is the oldest Inn still operating in the United States and has been serving travelers along the old Boston Post Road for almost 300 years.

They preserve American heritage and educate the public through reenactments, performances, speaker events, a monthly muster, a Colonial Faire, parades, and other educational, fun events. The Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute sponsor and participate in many Revolutionary War era events in the region. See the links below for more information about these events.<\/p>\n<p>While you may see the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute reenacting or speaking at many one-time public or television events, the Companies annually sponsor the following events: Sunday greetings at Longfellow&#8217;s Wayside Inn<br \/>\nTwelfth Night Ball (January); April 19th march to Concord; Regimental Ball Contra Dance (April); Memorial Day Parade &#8211; Sudbury; 4th of July Parade &#8211; Sudbury; Colonial Faire and Muster of Fyfes &amp; Drums (late September); Battle of the Red Horse Tavern (late October).<\/p>\n<p>Patriots&#8217; Day<br \/>\nAnnually on Patriots&#8217; Day (April 19), the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute march from Sudbury to Concord and Lincoln, Massachusetts. This event reenacts and commemorates the mission of our forefathers who did the same on April 19, 1775.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nApril 19, 1775, is one of the most significant dates in the formation of the United States of America. British Regulars had marched out of Boston to seize stores held in the countryside. While dispersing armed provincials on Lexington Green, British commander heard someone firing a gun &#8211; prompting the phrase, &#8220;The shot that was heard around the world.&#8221; The British Regulars fired on the provincials, killing several. Provincials and British Regulars would fight for the remainder of the day, known as the start of The American Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The commemorative march encompasses at least two phases. First, the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute march through Wayland, once Sudbury, and then from Sudbury to the Old North Bridge, Concord.<\/p>\n<p>The Sudbury Companies welcome participants and onlookers on this most hallowed day, Patriots\u00b4 Day. Please contact us if interested. Review our history for Sudbury Companies&#8217; role on April 19, 1775.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]\n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;History of the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute&#8221;]\nThe present-day Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute model themselves after the Sudbury militias of 1774 and 1775 &#8211; particularly with the South Militia commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ezekial How Sr, Innkeeper of How&#8217;s Tavern (The Wayside Inn).<\/p>\n<p>On April 19th, 1775, a messenger reached Sudbury between 3:00 am and 4:00 am bringing news that British Regulars had left Boston the evening before and were headed westward, presumably to Concord where military supplies were garrisoned. Each Sudbury contingent heeded the call and took the most expedient route to what is now called Battle Road.<\/p>\n<p>Since the routes were different, each company had a different level of participation that day, but it seems the North and South Companies both headed for Concord&#8217;s South Bridge. Before reaching South Bridge, the Sudbury Companies learned it was held already by British Regulars and they were ordered to turn northerly and for the North Bridge, where other towns were assembling. At this time, Sudbury also learned that Colonel Barrett&#8217;s house was ransacked by redcoats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If any blood has been shed not one of the rascals shall escape!&#8221; Ezekial How Sr. On Punkatasset Hill, about a mile north of the Concord meeting-house, the Provincials were being constantly reinforced by the militia of Westford, Littleton, Acton, Sudbury, and other neighboring towns. Soon they would number around 450 bodies, far outmatching the British Regulars sent to hold North Bridge. When smoke was seen rising from Concord center, the Provincials marched on the bridge and drove the regulars away.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is surmised that Sudbury did not engage British Regulars until a short distance beyond Meriam&#8217;s Corner, Concord. In this area, the fighting was heavy as the British Regulars retreated through a narrow gap and were vastly outnumbered. At this location, Sudbury was to lose its first resident to battle, Deacon Josiah Haynes. Later, in Lexington, the town would lose young Isahel Reed.<\/p>\n<p>In the weeks to follow, townspeople from Sudbury would fight at The Battle of Bunker (Breed&#8217;s) Hill and then join the formal Continental Army as part of the 4th Regiment to fight in The Northern Campaign.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\"

Today we have evolved into a repertory ensemble performing martial, dance, and folk music drawn from 17th, 18th, and early 19th century sources in America and Europe as well as contemporary compositions. Ultimately, MCV is about history and music, education and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Members range in age and vocation from 16 up, students to aerospace engineers, school teachers to truck drivers. All participate on an avocational basis, balancing &#8216;real life&#8217; with weekly rehearsals and over thirty performances yearly, and share a common love for music and performance. MCV is a registered federal 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and we support our activities strictly through grants, donations, and performance fees.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/meriams-corner-exercise\/\">View Meriams Corner Exercise Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0;

From those who first fell on Lexington Green, to the heroes of today, we hope to continue telling the story of American Independence. The members of the Lexington Minute Men are required to research and portray one of the original members of the brave unit which faced the King\u2019s soldiers. To do so requires poring over documents, letters, books, and manuscripts, searching for more on the identity of those heroes. As Lexington Minute Men it is our duty to honor their memory, so future generations will understand that it was more than a mere battle. It was more than just a military confrontation. It was also more than just \u201cthe shot heard \u201cround the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\n<strong>The Lexington Training Band<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Lexington Training Band is composed of over dozen members of the Lexington Minute Men and is dedicated to accurately portraying the men of the Lexington militia as they appeared on April 18th and 19th, 1775.<\/p>\n<p>Despite popular belief, the Village of Lexington on the eve of the American Revolution did not have a minute man company. Instead, the men from that town were enlisted in a single militia company known as &#8220;The Training Band&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The term training band can be traced back to the reign of England\u2019s Edward I, when parliament enacted legislation decreeing that every freeman between the ages of 15 and 60 years was to be available to preserve the peace within his own county or shire. When Lexington established its militia, it retained the ancient English title of training band.<\/p>\n<p>The flintlock musket was the weapon of the era and under the 1764 Crown Manual, a soldier would follow thirteen motions to load it. A British authority writing on the military muskets of the period indicated that it was an inaccurate weapon and only had an effective range of approximately eighty yards.<\/p>\n<p>On the evening before the Battle of Lexington, Lieutenant Benjamin Tidd assembled a portion of the band on the village green to drill in preparation for the inevitable conflict. On October 29, 1774, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress ordered that &#8220;it be recommended to the inhabitants of this Province that in order to their perfecting themselves in the Military Art, they proceed in the method ordered by his Majesty in the year 1764, it being, in the opinion of this Congress, best calculated for appearance and defence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Training Band performs this drill. The purpose of this drill was to compensate for the limitations of the inaccurate muskets of the time. Men were concentrated in close ranks, shoulder to shoulder, to fire in unison and only upon command and to reload as rapidly as possible. With bayonets fixed, the attacking force would advance to the beat of a drum until they reached a point of eighty yards away from their enemy.<\/p>\n<p>After a volley, the force would advance to fifty yards. A second and perhaps a third volley would be fired. At the moment of impact, the attacking force turned to the bayonet. In this manner of warfare, rate of fire became more valuable than accuracy; speed and precision had to be combined with iron discipline, factors necessary for the soldiers to continue loading and firing despite casualties around them.<\/p>\n<p>The Training Band demonstrates methods of field maneuvers utilized during the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lexingtonminutemen.com\/join.html\" target=\"_New\">View Lexington Tatoo and Muster Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Parades and Ceremonial Activities<\/strong><br \/>\nIn addition to numerous benefit activities, school and educational living-history presentations, and our re-enactments, the Lexington Minute Men have marched in the inaugural parades of Presidents Dwight D.
