museumRevolutionary Revel!
Raynham Hall Museum · Oyster Bay
Raynham Hall Museum is holding a ‘Revolutionary Revel!’ on Sunday, September 20 from 11:00 to 2:00 pm. Interact with members of the Order of the Ancient and Honorable Huntington Militia and learn about 18th-century crafts such as weaving and fabric dyeing. Live musical instrument demonstrations (such as violin, viola da gamba, and recorders), musket firings, historic games, and more will engage people of all ages. You can even interact with the museum’s AI George Washington! While event hosts will be dressed in historic clothing, guests can outfit themselves in period attire and preserve the memory at a selfie station. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their own period items. The festivities are free and open to the public, including admission to the Visitors’ Center and museum, but donations are appreciated, and refreshments will be available for free. The Huntington Militia is a colonial living history re-enactment group that traces its roots back to Huntington’s founding in 1653 and is the official ceremonial guard of the Town of Huntington.
