Rev250 Redcoats and Rebels - Old Sturbridge Village 2026
Redcoats and Rebels brings one of New England's largest Revolutionary War encampments to Old Sturbridge Village for a single weekend each summer. On August 1 and 2, 2026, more than five hundred reenactors from nearly forty units marched, drilled, cooked, mended and fought across the Village's two hundred acres. What follows below are my images from Sunday the 2nd.
