Revolutionary War Reenactment

  • October 08, 2016
  • Dollinger Family Farm, Channahon

Let us take you back to 1775, when the 13 colonies were fighting for their independence from Great Britian.  Smell the campfires as you meander through the town and visit the people of the time.  See how they lived, dressed and prepared for war.  Then experience the Battle and witness history as the United States of America becomes a nation at Dollinger Family Farm!
