Rehoboth


Photo


The Rehoboth Minutemen celebrated Liberty and Union weekend in Taunton recently. Taunton was the first town in the colonies to raise a flag in opposition to British rule on Oct. 24, 1774. Many events took place at the Old Colony Historical Society and the First Parish Church.

The Rehoboth Minutemen contributed by presenting an encampment, a colonial era fashion show and a court martial. They also took part in a school assembly, the Liberty and Union community service and flag raising.

One of the highlights was a presentation of an 18th century "camp follower" by Cathy Potter, one of the founding members of the Rehoboth Minutemen and a member of the Rehoboth Historical Commission. Potter is well known for her 18th-century clothing expertise. She creates uniforms and everyday 18th century clothes for many local reenacting regiments and individuals. For more information on the Rehoboth Minutemen, contact Dave Downs at hglump@comcast.net.
