Battle of Taylors Island: Battle of Ice Mound-- Part 2

At 11 a.m., at the Fire Hall, a National Park Service ranger will have presentation on the battle.

The battle will be re-enacted afterward at a private field near the Island Grille.  This re-enactment is special because it will feature the actual number if participants in the original; battle, the only full-scale bicentennial re-enactment.

Along with Americans, there will be British sailor and Marine re-enactors.

There are plans to have a long boat and jolly boat, such as the ones used in the attacks on Tobacco/Stick/Madison before the Battle of Ice Mound.  There may be a cutter on site as well.
