SUMMARY:Lieut. Col. Archibald Campbell returns to Parker Tavern!!
DESCRIPTION:On September 26\, 2026\, Parker Tavern will host a reenactment commemorating the capture of Lieut. Col. Archibald Campbell and two companies of the 71st Highland Regiment. The transports carrying the 71st arrived in Boston Harbor\, in June of 1776\, three full months after the British army had evacuated the city. The ships were set upon by American ships and forced to surrender after a brief fight. Parker Tavern housed Lieut. Col. Campbell and seven of his officers from June of 1776 to January of 1777. Come visit the militia camp as they guard the Scottish prisoners. Learn about Scottish culture and dress. Take part in the formal tea hosted by Lieut. Col. Campbell. Pottery and weaving crafts people will be on site\, and the Tavern will be open. The event will run from 9AM to 5 PM. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Reading Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency and by the Reading Celebration Trust.\nFor more information\, visit www.parkertavern.org
