Revolutionary War-era reenactment being held at Hagerstown City Park

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (DC News Now) -- This Saturday, everyone is invited to a Revolutionary War-era reenactment at the Hagerstown City Park.

Living historians will showcase military drills on the grounds of the Jonathan Hager House and there will also be a reenactment of battlefield experiences from the 18th century.

Matt Penrod gives guided tours of the Hager House and City Park grounds.

The people here rebelled. This was the first community, really, of all the colonies, to stand up to the British to repudiate the Stamp Act. This was in 1765," he said.

Saturday's activities will be held from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and will feature black powder firing demonstrations and a showcase of firearms from the Revolutionary War era.
