On Saturday, November 20th, the historic and scenic Brewster Gardens will once again be brought to life as dedicated living historians create a Historic Village filled with authentic camps and scenarios of historical eras. The Historic Village interpreters will inform and entertain – and serve as guides as you personally travel among the centuries.

Begin your journey in the 17th century with Native Peoples and European settlers, and learn to separate fact from fiction about the gathering of 1621 which some call “thanksgiving”, and others consider a dark day. Watch the 17th century Citizen Soldiers practice the defense of their town – with spears and matchlock muskets!

Travel along to the eighteenth century to hear from the local militia men about the earlier conflict with the French.  Later complaints against the King and Parliament will be an issue , and their plans to establish self-rule.
