This rousing learning adventure invites Patriots of all ages to step back into Colonial Delaware in 1777. 16,000 British Soldiers under General Howe have landed at the Head of Elk, Maryland, with orders to capture the Rebel Capital of Philadelphia. General Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette see the British approach from Iron Hill and order Brigadier General Maxwell to raise a Corps of Light Infantry to harass and trouble them to give precious time to ready the Patriot defense.

Join civilians and soldiers in Colonial Delaware and take part in an unforgettable and inspiring time!

Here is a splendid review of our last event on Trip Advisor:

Step back in time and experience history as it was.

Our family attended a Liberty Encounters event at Bible Fellowship Church of Newark. Aaron provided us with a fantastic experience where our boys (10 & 8) got to see what life was like for the early Patriots who were carving our independence from the King. They were delighted to dress up and become part of the story as they learned. I cannot say enough about how fantastic Aaron was at guiding us through history and how incredible what our forefathers accomplished was. Do not hesitate to book a tour or attend on of his events.

What an honor to present with distinguished Christian Historians with Landmark Events in Colonial Williamsburg!

What a blessing and dream come true to bring our family to Colonial Williamsburg and join Landmark Events for their fourth annual Future of History Symposium!

Here are a few images from the Symposium with extraordinary Christian Scholars Doctor Bill Potter, Colonel John Eidsmoe, Living Historian John Huffman, and the inspiring Homeschooled Historian Mary Turley. We've had an incredible week learning from such humble, knowledgable, and gifted Historians while sharing history of the American Founding in the Colonial Capital of Virginia with dear families from around our country.

The Duke of Gloucester Street and Capital Building provided a tremendous backdrop for drill as Virginia Miliita. In October of 1775, the redoubtable French and Indian War Veteran William Woodford raised the 2nd Virginia. These men would soon defend Hampton, Virginia from raids led by the deposed Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore.

As the intrepid Doctor Paul Jehle was missed due to unforeseen circumstances, his words regarding the Signer and Emancipator Robert Carter III gave the basis for Colonel Eidsmoe and Aaron Bradford fill in front of his home in Williamsburg, along with a gentlemen from Williamsburg who portrays him. Please consider reading a fascinating description of Carter by Dr. Jehle at https://plymrock.org/the-declaration-and-the-legacy-of-robert-carter-iii/

Participants of every generation are invited to rally their friends and family and step back into September of 1777. 16,000 British troops have landed at the Head of Elk, with orders to advance overland and capture the U.S. Capitol in Philadelphia. 800 Patriots in General Maxwell's Corps of Light Infantry have orders to cause trouble to give Washington's Army time to fortify. In this setting, step into history for an unforgettable adventure!

Here is footage from a frenzied retreat, as a Patriot detachment may observe British forces advancing up the Old Baltimore Pike in the aftermath of the Battle of Cooch's Bridge.

General Washington's favorite dance, the Virginia Reel, is held at the conclusion to celebrate the blessings of liberty.

Please behold a letter of appreciation received from a participant from our last event.

Finally, please see a broadside image with information.

What Can the Pilgrims Teach Us About Self-Reliance Today? by Beth Vickers | Aug 26, 2026 | Understanding Pilgrims When we hear the words self-reliance, we may picture the rugged individualist: independent, self-sufficient and determined to need no one. But the story of Plymouth offers something cons...

We are grateful to the West Caln Township Historical Commission’s invitation to deliver our Pilgrim to Patriot presentation on September 9th! We had a delightful time celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary by sharing stories and excerpts from Of Plimoth Plantation as to how the Pilgrims exemplified the indispensable supports of American Liberty, which are freedom, virtue, and faith!

It has been six days since our recent Patriot Soldier Life Adventure! This Saturday morning past, almost 50 participants took part in discussing the difficult decisions facing Delaware families in 1777, to marching and spirited skirmishes, sawing wood, scrubbing laundry, making cartridges, foraging for food, tending a campfire, dancing the Virginia Reel, conducting a dress parade, and celebrating with games! The ground witnessed American and British Soldiers who fought in the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge on September 3rd, 1777.

At this point, we are pleased to tentatively pencil in another Patriot Soldier Life Adventure at Bible Fellowship Church of Newark during the afternoon of Saturday, November 5th. Lord willing, we will confirm and open registration soon! We plan to build on our recent success and offer a largely similar adventure with new activities and surprises as well.

We appreciate the following review that was posted on the "Delaware First State Homeschool" Group on Facebook:

“This event is over for the day, sharing as a review/recommendation for future events!

My family (5, 7, 14, and 16 year olds as well as adults!) participated in this event today and it was excellent. Extremely interactive, totally immersive, and very educational. The family that leads the event are all very welcoming and skilled at keeping everyone involved and excited. We hope to make future events as well as we continue to learn as a family. I would highly recommend for co-ops to look into events as well, these are truly excellent for multi age groups, and would be a memorable and educational experience for all.

I am not related or affiliated with this organization. Just excited to share an excellent opportunity.”
