Goal:      To accurately bring to life the mid-seventeenth century with special reference to the years 1634-57, so that we may all better understand our own heritage and not repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.

Activities:

       I, To develop an authentic recreation of a typical private artillery company of the period.

       II, To develop authentic (yet safe) recreations of dueling and artillery practices of the period.

       III, To enjoy games and fellowship in the style of the period.

Description: The artillery train’s equipment is very impressive, currently consisting of three falkonetts on full artillery mounts. These “cannon” were built by the famed workshops of Valentine Armory in Canada. The artillery is backed up by the necessary equipment of barrels, tools and … bottles!  Presenters are available capable giving expert and lively talks on their period at levels from
kindergarten to post-graduate.
