In celebration of these pivotal events, the Fargo Public Library is proud to present “Soldiers of the American Revolution,” a living history program hosted by Arn Kind, who will come in the uniform of a soldier in George Washington’s Continental Army. He will share the events which gave birth to our great nation utilizing drama, role-playing and living history experiences. Kind’s multi-media presentation will give participants an understanding of this turbulent time and make history come alive for all ages. Through realistic and colorful portrayals of the people who participated in these events and displays of maps, posters, clothing and artifacts, Kind’s presentation takes audiences into the action of 1776. Volunteers from the audience have an opportunity to take on the role of soldiers in the Continental Army and will learn some of the rudiments of Von Steuben’s Drill Manual while handling wooden replicas of Revolutionary War muskets. This 2-hour event is for kids, teens and adults who will come away with a better understanding of how our great nation came into being.
