After about 2 and half hours of bus ride, we arrived at the Riley's Farm
We were received by 2 sergeants, divided into 4 groups for our lodging accommodation.
Later, we were divided into 2 companies for military drills. Later 2 companies were put to a skill contest, then we made candles.
Dinner included roast beef, candied carrots, mushed potatoes, freshly baked whole wheat bread, and apple crumbles along with lemonade. After listening to Patrick Henry's passionate speech, we had a dance contest.
On the following morning, soldiers went on hiking before breakfast and each received a cup of hot chocolate.
Breakfast included some eggs, bacon strips, a slice of meat pie (?), and orange juice.
After the breakfast, we were divided into 2 companies again for further mock drill, experiencing the Stamp Act, and a mock trial of smugglers. We also had some lessons on etiquette, weaving, making cookies, churning butter, and each soldiers signed their initial for independence.
At lunch time, soldiers received their ration of a sliced cheese, a sliver of beef jerky, a corn bread, and an apple.
After the lunch, one company was assigned to be the British military and the other as the American military who defended the Tavern. The mock fight ended in the British soldiers being shot down to the ground.
We had a little extra time before our bus ride back to our school, and we did a hay ride through the Riley's Farm and experienced apple cider making.
