Join us for the 4th Annual Living History Weekend at Wyckoff-Garretson Hourse
October 11-12, 2008
The Colonial Living History Alliance brings a unique depiction of what 18th century life was like for many Colonists. Estimates vary slightly, but in the 1750’s, there was an estimated English population of 1.2 million people. At it’s height during the American Revolution, only about 20 to 30 thousand, or roughly about 2.5% of the population, were directly involved in the military.

What about the other 97 percent? They were the Farmers, Shopkeepers, Tavern keepers, Midwives and other civilians that continued to go about their daily lives, in spite of the European power struggles going on around them. The Colonial Living History Alliance creates this experience for us with their beautiful and authentic recreations of life in the 18th Century.

Each day there will be activities going on all day, around and in the house. Join our celebration of Colonial Times! There is no admission to Colonial Times weekend, on-site parking is available at the Wyckoff-Garretson house for a suggested donation of $5 per car.
