It’s April 21, 1775 – Trouble is brewing in Williamsburg… The alarm has sounded — the public gunpowder has been stolen! Now’s your chance to step into history and join the ranks of the Williamsburg Independent Company.
📍 Rally on Palace Green, where new recruits (that’s YOU!) will:
- 🗣️ Get the inside scoop on the crisis
- 🥾 March to the Public Magazine for hands-on military drill & training
- 🫡 Stand tall as Captain James Innes inspects the troops
- 🏴☠️ Prepare to defend the Colony and reclaim what’s rightfully ours — by force if necessary!
👥 This is an interactive experience — guests should be ready to stand for up to 40 minutes and bring their revolutionary spirit!
🎯 Ages 6 to 80 welcome. It’s time to pick a side… and fall in line.
