Civil War Reenactment Old Bethpage Village Restoration

Old Bethpage Village Restoration will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War with a reenactment. Company “E” of the 14th Brooklyn Regiment, New York State Militia, will conduct its annual “School of the Soldier” program.

As part of the program, the “soldiers” of the 14th Brooklyn, dressed in the uniforms of the time, will demonstrate the formations the regiment engaged in during training in 1861, including marching, facings and manual of arms. The officers will also lead the men in company drills each day and conclude with a skirmish drill on Sunday.
