Imagine if homeland security fell to everyday citizens.

In rural New England in the 1830s, that's how it was, and the farmers and craftsmen in each town formed the local militia.

At least once a year, these folks spent a day training, or were  called to muster, to maintain readiness.


Learn to march with the militia, hear fife and drum music, and join the fun that took place after the drilling.  

Active military personnel get a 50-percent admission discount, and members of their party get 25 percent off admission.
