Our world looks very different after dark than it did in 18th-century America, especially as their nights were lit with the fires of revolution. Experience the nighttime world known by the residents of Lewistown on the eve of the Revolutionary War: rest by the blazing bonfire, warm your spirit at Sussex Tavern, or with a beverage at the Lewistown Coffee-house. As unrest brews and rumors spread through the streets, listen to stories beneath a lantern-lit Liberty Tree, and experience the ultimate act of colonial-era “non-violent” protest in the form of a burning, straw-stuffed effigy representing the despised architects of Britain’s new policies towards America. Immerse yourself in the turbulent days when Delawarean subjects of the British king began to think of themselves as Americans!This one-of-a-kind event returns to bring Revolutionary history to life by popular demand! Tickets are limited, so purchase online today, as only a limited number of tickets are reserved for day-of sale at the gate.
Your $15 admission includes a free drink and supports Historic Lewes in its mission to preserve and share our community’s revolutionary heritage.
