Save The Date!
On Saturday, October 12, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Belmont Hall will celebrate Revoluntary War Day with our annual reenactment. First Regiment Delaware re-enactors, along with regiments from New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, will once more share the grounds and welcome the public into their encampment. This event is set to take place at the address of Belemont Hall, which is 217 Smyrna Leipsic Road in Smyrna DE.
Militia men, women, and children will decamp on the grounds of historic Belmont Hall to replay a skirmish that took place at the 18th Century home of Thomas Collins, the 8th Governor of Delaware. No live shots will be fired, yet authentic Colonial customs will be enlivened by the appearances of period dancers, wandering minstrels, artisans, and street food vendors.
The Friends of Belmont Hall, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that hosted the same event last year, will arrange this encore presentation.
Revolutionary War Day has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: “Democracy demands wisdom.”
ReynHixPhotography will be providing photography coverage of the event.
