What began on the banks of the Cape Fear River helped paved the Road Revolution. Travel back to the winter of 1766 at Brunswick Town and Fort Anderson.
Learn how the events that occurred in the Colonial Cape Fear helped sow the seeds of discontent and pave the way for the American Revolution as living history interpreters demonstrate trades and how the dreaded Stamp Act affected their livelihood. Talk with sailors, learn the blacksmith's trade, and listen to lectures on how the events of the 1760s paved the way to revolution. Two lectures on the events leading up to the resistance in Brunswick, and on the course of the events in February 1766 in Brunswick will be held at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM respectively. Hands on activities for kids will include making tricorn hats and painting toy soldiers.
This special event is free, and open to the public. Visit the website for more details.
