Outwater's Militia
On June 14th, 2007, Outwater's hosted an event for the Historic Mid
Town Elizabeth development agency, at the 1st Presbyterian Church on
Broad St. We had at least 43 participants and a large number of
spectators. Attending Units were: Outwater's, Heard's Brigade of
NJ militia, 24th Conn. Regt of Militia, 3rd NJ reg't, and the British
35th Reg't of Foot. They all did a great job for the
sponsor!
The American forces drill
George, Don Jeff, Peter, Matt and Mike look around camp.

The 3rd NJ drills on the church grounds- our battle field for the day!
One of Heard's Militia takes a "hit"- looks like a low blow.
Don and John talk to the crowd, with Matt and Peter paying close attention to medical facts of the 18th Century.
The militia stand firm against the British invaders.
Outwater's was 'galvanized' into 'insta-Brits' with the loan of
some red coats to help the 35th Reg't under John Van Vliet.
