Most events are based on the Regiment participating
with other Regiments to put together an "event". These
events typically involve American and Crown forces arriving at a
location provided by the event sponsor and setting up an 18th century
military encampment. Once this is accomplished, members begin to
participate in the many activities provided on a weekend. These
include military duties such as patrols, wood calls, water calls,
guard duty, drills, and battle demonstrations. For civilians the
activities include clothing demonstrations, sutleries, laundries,
the hospital, and hawking merchandise to the soldiers. These activities
may be added to for specific events. Aside from these programs,
members take part in entertainment including concerts, tea parties,
taverns, games, and dances.
The end result is that the weekend is
spent portraying and demonstrating the activities a typical person
of the 18th century might have participated in. To participate in
these activities, one doesn't need to have any special knowledge
as every program is an educational experience.
