Historic London Town and Gardens - 23 March

The Maryland and British Marines turned out at Historic London Town and Gardens on 23 March to kick off their recruiting and reenactment season for 2014.  A Maryland Marine (Tim Wilson on the left) and a British Marine (Dave Shackleford on the right) are shown with civilians of the town guarding the newly acquired tractor for the site - replacing one stolen by modern day thieves.  While it was cold, it was a wonderful day with a record number of visitors attending.  

The Baltimore Sun was also there to capture a musket firing demonstration with Captain McGaughey looking on.

Below are further photos of the event with drill, firing, and charging the enemy!
