“Bevier House Museum on Route 209 in Marbletown will come alive with the sound of musket shot and artillery fire on September 26, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The historic home of Louis Bevier will host a Revolutionary War Encampment featuring the 1st New York Regiment, the 2nd New York Regiment and the 3rd Ulster County Militia. These three units of reenactors along with period craftsmen, first person actors, children’s activities, audio-visual programs, on-site food and tours of Historic Bevier House all combine to tell the story of our nation’s War for Independence. Visitors will learn of the events that served as a prelude to the Burning of Kingston through audio visual presentations and first person actors who “were there.” Guests will be invited to walk through the encampments of the soldiers and talk with them to learn what military life would have been like. Craftspeople will include spinners, weavers, a blacksmith, an exhibit on medicinal herbs, interpretations of Bevier’s kitchen gardens, and interpretation of Bevier’s newly acquired mill wheel from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon,. All of our reenactors will combine for a sham battle on the north field at 1:00 PM. Guests may also meet John Paul Jones at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Was he a Continental Naval Hero or as the British called him, a pirate? At 12:00 Noon and 3:00 PM meet Rachel DuMont, heroine of Kingston and hear first hand how she helped her family escape the burning of Kingston. Admission: $10 adults, $8 seniors and students, under 5 free, special family reduced rates. Information (845) 336-4746.”
