HADDONFIELD, NJ – On Saturday, June 7, 2025, the Redcoats will invade Haddonfield and be challenged by Continental troops, just as they did 246 years ago — in June 1778. Redcoats will charge, muskets will be fired, and the Continentals will try to stop the redcoats before they head off to the Battle at Monmouth.
General Washington had ordered the militia to “annoy” the Redcoats, and so we will again.
The clash and a day-long event surrounding it takes place on and around Kings Highway.
The day’s events include many other activities such as a Yelling Contest, Colonial Dancing, Pillory Prisoners and Character reenactors.
Plus, Soldier reenactors will be available to meet visitors before and after the Skirmish.
There will be plenty of sidewalk space for viewing and cheering along Kings Highway and the conflict should take about 20 minutes.
Also, tours of the historic tavern will be offered all day.
The Skirmish is hosted by The Friends of the Indian King (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) which works to preserve and advance the Indian King Tavern Museum, the first New Jersey State historic site, and raise public awareness of the museum and its educational programs.
