NELG has been invited to be part of the commemoration of the 247th anniversary of the Battle of Fall River. The Battle of Fall River Reenactment Weekend is honored to be part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ MA250, a statewide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of pivotal events leading up to the American Revolution. MA250 celebrates Massachusetts’ rich history and its role in the fight for independence. The program spans from 2025 through 2033, marking key milestones from the colonial resistance to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.
The Battle of Fall River Reenactment Weekend (May 31 – June 1, 2025) will feature a variety of FREE engaging activities designed to immerse visitors in the Revolutionary War era and the history of Fall River.
The living history event will include several local military reenactment units, including the 54th Regiment of Foote and the 13th Continental Line. Both days will feature infantry drills, open-fire cooking demonstrations, blacksmithing, sailmaking, pottery, and more.
The encampment will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on both days. View the schedule and more information at: https://www.vivafallriver.com/lafayettedurfee250/
