: : You might considering visiting Lexington/Concord on April 13, as there will be a considerable reenactment of the actual 1775 battle there that weekend.  My first real event as a reenactor was at the enormous reenactment of the 225th anniversary of Lexington/Concord -- two packed days of battling over a very large area.  It was fabulous.  Below you will find a link to my website to read about it and see pictures of what you will see in April.

: : I hope enjoy your visit!

: : : Hello,

: : : I have been interested in the American Revolution ever seen I saw Last of the Mohicans. I know it might not be a historical accurate film, but it does let you imagine what it was like to live in the 18th century colonies. It is also not sheer Hollywood drivel like the Patriot, which kills the truth of history. 

: : : My uncle has been doing our family tree for many years. 
: : : As I am on the same island as my ancestors it makes it easier to find out about them. My uncle found out that one of our family was a young Captain Francis Marsden, 5th Regiment of Foot. He was stationed around Boston and took part in the battles, Lexington Green and Concord. A few months later he was seriously wounded at the Battle of Bunker Hill. He died 5 years from his wounds, aged 26. As a mark of respect, I wrote about the account of his life. The link can be found below.

: : : I was wondering are these battle sites still around and worth going to visit?

: : : Thank you for your time
