Hello to all on this silent snowy night.
Is anyone or their regiments planning on attending the Battle of Trenton/Patriot's week events in Trenton this year?

Last year was my 1st year attending as a reenactor and I was blown away. I didn;t attend the Fri night ball( was settling in w/my unit and also lacked the fancy dress, as I was a lowly American campfollower) but participated in many of the events... Slept both Fri and Sat nights in the Old Barracks( we were joined by the dashing 22nd Reg of Foot.
AND had the pleasure of being stared at raptly by the populace of Trenton as the unit was walking to a local pub for dinner on Sat night!
I hope the weather improves, although of course if it's like this, that's a lot more historically appropriate!
Did you attend Trenton as a gentleman of fashion? :)
Yes, even as a Continental lass @ heart, the Hessians ARE incredibly dashing and put up one hell of a fight!
( lol one of our my unit's commanding officers went to "the darkside" last year, doing a hessian impression because his wife got him an incredibly impressive mitre for Christmas)
Btw as a former Botany student and history lover *bowing * to William Bartram.. haven';t been to Bartram's Gardens in far too long
