SUMMARY:Townsend's Re-enactment of the March to Concord
DESCRIPTION:We invite YOU to join us in re-enacting part of the Townsend Minutemen’s March to Concord. \nOn April 19 1775 a cannon was fired on the Town Common to summon the Townsend Minutemen; word had just been received that the British regulars had marched on Concord to capture the arms and ammunition which the local militia had collected there. \n73 Townsend men assembled and marched to Concord that afternoon. \nThere were two companies -the North Company\, commanded by Captain Samuel Douglas\, and the South Company\, commanded by Captain James Hosley. \nIn honor and memory of these 73 Townsend Minutemen we will fire a cannon\, calling all to “arms”. We will then “march” down the Squannacook River Rail Trail to the Reed Homestead\, where there will be activities\, refreshments and a short presentation about Townsend’s history. The Townsend Historical Society will also provide 73 wooden muskets to march with and keep as souvenirs – first come first served!
