This free-admission, family-friendly event is held annually the weekend after Memorial Day. Reclaiming Our Heritage honors veterans and educates the public about veterans' contributions to, and sacrifices for, American society.
Reclaiming Our Heritage is a living history event, with encampments from all the major military eras in U. S. history, starting with the pre-Revolutionary War colonial militia up to the present era. The event also is a resource for veterans interested in up-to-date information on VA benefits and services.
There are many activities during the Reclaiming Our Heritage weekend including a Civil War School Day, the Positively Patriotic Parade, Civil War medical demonstrations, a wide variety of musical groups, fashion shows, a street dance, and many, many more fun, family activities.
Reclaiming Our Heritage is sponsored by Friends of Reclaiming Our Heritage, Inc., a non-governmental 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations, for which no goods or services are provided, are fully deductible according to law. See our sponsorship page for ways you can support this popular annual event.
