WETA Arts marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution at Mount Vernon for "Revolutionary War Weekend." This annual event brings the late 18th century to life, thanks to reenactors who travel from as far away as New Jersey and South Carolina to camp, battle, and transform George Washington’s backyard into a living history experience that captures the spirit of the Revolution.

One of George Washington's Mount Vernon's most popular events, Revolutionary War Weekend brings history to life with hundreds of reenactors portraying all manner of individuals typical of who you might have met in an 18th century war encampment. Participants travel from across the East Coast, even across the country, to represent not only British and Continental soldiers, but also Revolutionary militias, American loyalists, German-speaking soldiers hired by the British, and women supporting the troops on both sides. Living history groups abound and they stage events nationwide. To find upcoming reenactments near you, check websites like Decades of the American Revolution and The British Brigade; in some regions there's an event nearly every week.
