Colonial Kensington

Colonial Kensington

Experience the sights and sounds of history during this Kensington Metropark tradition. Visit with historically-dressed reenactors portraying civilian and military life of the Colonial era. Be entertained with music and dramatizations, witness the firing of muskets and canons, and shop the booths of merchants where you may purchase hand crafted items made like they were in the 18th century. Walk or take a horse-drawn hayride back in time and to the Kensington Living History Village, right in the middle of the action (standard hayride rates apply). Formations will begin at 10am with drilling at 11am. A kids’ drill with wooden muskets will be at 1 p.m. followed by a Colonial fashion show at 2 p.m. Capping off the day, the afternoon battle is a must-see at 3 p.m.!
