Today we celebrated our country’s Independence Day with musket demonstrations and a cannon firing in Fort Lee, NJ – a significant location of America’s past and where George Washington’s troops once were stationed and eventually had to retreat. Today’s events weren’t as stacked as the annual reenactment of the retreat of George Washington’s troops as the British army closed in on Fort Washington in NY & Fort Lee in NJ. The reenactment is usually held on the weekend before Thanksgiving. But still, the musket demo and the cannon firing was a great way to celebrate America’s birthday!
