George Washington's Birthplace - 9 August

The Marine's next event will be at George Washington's National Birthplace near Colonial Beach, VA. Come by to see our musket demonstrations and drill on 9 August.  Our ladies will be in the hearth kitchen preparing an 18th Century small dinner.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

TV Film Shoot

The Marines had the pleasure to be a part of the filming at Historic London Town and Gardens yesterday for a new TV series on the American Heroes Channel (formerly the Military Channel).  The show, set to air next year, is called "Secrets of the Arsenal" and the story they are in is "The Culper Ring," a network of spies organized by General George Washington.  Here are some photos of behind the scenes!  

The Marines participate in living history events at Historic London Town and Gardens a few times a year doing demonstrations and drill.
