Revolutionary History Comes Alive In Griggstown

August 29, 2021 Historic Preservation

Re-enactors portraying members of the First Rhode Island Regiment march down Canal Road.

Canal Road in Griggstown was once again trod upon by Revolutionary War soldiers adorned in their battle dress on August 28.

Well, not really, but close enough.

Re-enactors portraying members of the mostly African-American First Rhode Island Regiment helped with the commemoration of the 240th anniversary of the 700-mile march from New England to Virginia, culminating in the decisive battle of the war at Yorktown.
