Join the Continental Army
Young recruits will receive enlistment papers and be issued dummy muskets to learn the techniques and marching maneuvers necessary to be a soldier. Participants are encouraged to attend all programs, as the activities will change and build on what is learned from month to month. Program is held the first Saturday of each month from January through April 2010.
