SUMMARY:Colonial Artisans & Arms: Makers of the Nation
DESCRIPTION:The Bordentown Historical Society kicks off our Revolutionary War 250 events in New Jersey celebration with an outdoor event that brings the world of the 1770s–1800s to life. Step into the past as tradespersons showcase the skills and crafts that sustained daily life during the War for Independence. \nWatch a blacksmith hammer iron\, see a spinner and weaver at work. Explore the artistry of a cooper\, candle maker\, gardener\, herbalist\, fisherman\, leather worker\, and glass blower. Each artisan will demonstrate their craft in action and share the knowledge behind it. Many will offer their handmade wares for sale\, alongside books and maps highlighting local colonial history. \nA regiment from the Colonial Line will set up an authentic encampment. Visitors will get to see how soldiers camped\, cooked\, and prepared their armaments. Children can enjoy hands-on fun at a special craft tent designed to spark creativity and connect them with colonial life. Musicians specializing in period music will fill the air with songs of the 18th century. \nWe also welcome a Lenni Lenape historian and storyteller\, presented with the Discovery Center at Point Breeze\, who will share the history\, traditions\, and culture of the Lenape tribes in Bordentown and the surrounding area. Their stories will reveal the community’s deep connections to the land and its earliest people. \nThis exciting and educational event offers something for all ages. Join us and experience the crafts\, music\, history\, and stories that shaped the fight for independence!
