MUSTER DAY AT THE ARSENAL AND VILLAGE GREEN
MAY 7, 2023
Noon to 4:30 PM
425 PARK AVENUE HUNTINGTON, NY

The Huntington Militia encamps on the historic Village Green where the militia encamped in 1775! Step back in history for a day in 1775. See Men-at-Arms drill! See and hear muskets fired! See and hear our canon fired!

Less than a month before in the year 1775, the Battles of Lexington and Concord took place in the Colony or Massachusetts Bay. Will the British come here? The Town militia must be prepared! Speak with people of the past. Ask what their concerns are? When the militia mustered on the green, families would also gather to watch. Tradespeople would demonstrate their skills and bring their wares. Listen for the latest gossip! Watch cooking over an open campfire! Children and adults can take part in a muster drill and learn to march, load and “fire” a practice wood musket!

There is something for everyone! The Arsenal will be open for tours on a schedule through the day!
