Are you a history buff? In celebration of the country’s 250th Anniversary, come re-create “The Battle of Ridgefield” – in miniature!
The Historical Miniatures Gaming Society uses hand painted miniature figures (or toy soldiers) to re-create famous battles from history.
The games are challenging, and promote teamwork, strategic thinking, social interaction, and most importantly, are just plain fun – all while learning history!
This session will cover “The Battle of Ridgefield.” On April 25, 1777, British troops landed on Compo Beach in Westport and marched north to Danbury to burn Continental Army supplies. While the American colonial regulars and militia could not reach Danbury in time, they made a stand in nearby Ridgefield to try and stop the British from returning to their ships.
Come be a part of this re-creation of the Battle in miniature!
Space is limited, please register below.
