As a signature event of the VMHC’s 250th initiative, visit the museum as more than 50 living history interpreters bring to life the diverse stories of soldiers and civilians from the American Revolution. Explore the material culture of the era through immersive demonstrations that highlight the military experience and daily realities of the Revolutionary War.
All demonstrations and living history displays are included with Daily Museum Admission. Additional programing (Highlight Tours, 18th Cen Music Concert, and the Interpreting Independence Panel Discussion) require a separate ticket, but also include Daily Museum Admission.
As part of the VMHC’s Living History Weekend, experience the sounds of Revolutionary-era military music during a special concert featuring musicians from Music of the Regiment performing authentic 18th-century military band music on period instruments. Along with a stirring performance, the ensemble will provide historical context on the history, meaning, and role of military music in the Revolutionary era.
