Details:
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, the Redcoats will invade Haddonfield and be challenged by Continental troops, just as they did 250 years ago — in June 1778. The day’s events include activities such as a yelling contest, colonial dancing, pillory prisoners and character reenactors. Plus, soldier reenactors will be available to meet visitors before and after the Skirmish.
Redcoats will charge, muskets will be fired, and the Continentals will try to stop the British before they head off to the Battle at Monmouth. General Washington had ordered the militia to “annoy” the Redcoats, and so we will again. The clash and other events takes place on Kings Highway. There will be plenty of sidewalk space for viewing and cheering along Kings Highway and the conflict should take about 20 minutes. Tours of the historic tavern will be offered all day.
Call (856) 429-6792 or email michelle.hughes@dep.nj.gov for more information.
