The Lafayette Durfee House in Fall River, MA has invited us to demonstrate at the museum.
This is the home of Col. Joseph Durfee who led the Fall River militia during the War for Independence and was frequently visited by the Marquis de Lafayette during this time period.
It is Fall River's only restored colonial house open for public tours. Every room is recreated as if it were 1750. You will step back in time as you visualize women cooking at the large fireplace or making candles, men smoking pipes and playing cards in the parlor, or children playing with toys and dolls in the bedroom.
The house contains beautiful 18th century style hand stitched clothing, civilian muskets and military weapons, medical equipment, furnishings as well as cooking and household items.
Demonstrators can be costumed in clothing appropriate for the period, but this is not a requirement to participate. If you are interested in demonstrating, please register.
