4th Annual Somersworth Indonesian Fair

Travel back in time to the American Revolution at Rollinsford’s historic Colonel Paul Wentworth House on Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21, the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary era will come to life at a colonial market fair with 18th-century craftspeople and artisans at work, while the militia gathers to train in preparation for joining General Washington’s forces against the British. At this two-day living history encampment, artisans in period attire will demonstrate crafts such as joinery, coopering, printing, shoemaking, and gunsmithing. At the same time, the militia will perform musket firings and military drills, display and explain their equipment, and raise a Liberty Pole and flag. Visitors can drill with the militia, watch food being prepared on the open hearth, examine a display of antique tools, take a house tour, play some 18th-century children’s games, and much more. Admission $5; free for children and ARCH members
