Re-enactments

[cruisingrus]

I read that one of the summer events will be an historical re-enactment.

Anybody know which day of the week and where?

Yes...everything in the Dockyard is within walking distance of the ship.

We went to the Dockyard one last week on Wednesday. It starts in the yard with the cannons just past the pastry shop across from the ferry landing. The reenactment was cute but the real treat was the tour of the Dockyard by one of the actors in character right after. It lasted about an an hour and he was excellent. He is a retired history teacher. I have been going to the Dockyard on cruise ships for about 19 years and I never really knew the history of the buildings. We were one of his his first tours Definitely worthwhile and FREE!!! It is a project of the Dockyard Development office. I'll post some photos.
