35th Reg't Encampment at Dey Mansion

7/10/2022

0 Comments

 
On Saturday, July 10, the 35th Regiment's Grenadiers and ladies returned to Dey Mansion, the first event we have done there since February 2020, just before the coronavirus shut-downs.  Unlike our previous encampments at the Mansion, this time we were set up on the front lawn, attracting attention from the cars passing by with the Mansion as a backdrop for our camp setup.  We fielded three soldiers and three civilians, making use of the grounds for the rudiments of drill, practicing wheeling, line-to-column, column-into-line, and other maneuvers.  The public came in a steady stream of small groups, ensuring that we always had conversations going with the visitors. 

We received a lot of interesting questions from a diverse group of people throughout the day.  Even though the weather was hot, we had the advantage of our camp fly and the sun shade, an invaluable addition to our camp for when the sun is positioned lower in the sky than our awning.

We were very appreciative of the staff at Dey Mansion who were attentive and friendly, helping us any way they could.  All in all, a very successful Revolutionary War event!

Well done by Athena, Jesse, Madison, Tina, and Sharon!  Your captain is proud.
