Living History at Bald Hill Schoolhouse

Farmingville, NY

May 7, 2022

Unfortunately, Mother Nature showed us no mercy for this 'rain or shine' event at Bald Hill Schoolhouse yet we made the most of this cold and soggy day. Despite the weather, there were some visitors and we warmed ourselves by the fire, drank lots of coffee, and dined on hearty & hot beef stew for lunch. We had one last skirmish at 3pm and by some sheer miracle our muskets still fired. Hopefully, the weather will be better next year.
