MUSTER DAY
AT THE ARSENAL
SUNDAY, May 3, 2020
NOON TO 5:oo pm
(Rain Date - May 17)
425 Park Avenue
Huntington, NY
The Huntington Militia Musters on the Green at the Arsenal after the news of Lexington and Concord has reached Long Island. There is fear that if the British could attack in Massachusetts Bay, they could come here next!
Come see the muskets fired.
Come hear the cannon roar!
The militia is training and will be prepared if needed.
A militia muster is also a social gathering for the citizens of the town. Everyone comes out to watch. Merchants bring their wares. Tradesmen demonstrate their skills. See 18th Century trades being done.
Come speak with these People of the Past! Ask them what their concerns are. Ask them if they support this notion of independence being discussed in Philadelphia by a second congress of the Colonies.
You may be surprise by how some feel.
***
See cooking on an open campfire.

Across Park Avenue the Huntington Historical Society is holding their Sheep to Shawl Festival.
