VISITOR INFORMATION
| The 24th Connecticut Militia Regiment is a non profit
volunteer organization dedicated to educating the public about the
period known as the War of American Independence from 1775 thru 1783.
Each organization you will see are all volunteers with the same goals in
mind. Each has gone to their own expense to equip, dress and arm
themselves in a manner according to the units they represent. SAFETY- The weapons are REAL and are dangerous even though we only shoot blanks from muskets, rifles and cannons. Please observe the area designated for the PUBLIC to view the battles. The event site is open to the public from 09:00 to 5:00 on Saturday and from 09:00 to 03:00 on Sunday. The event is free to the public however, there will be a $5.00 per car fee for parking to offset the costs. Donations are always accepted with gratitude. We also invite those who wish to join any of the units and become a member in a wonderful hobby.
