2011 Event Schedule
Active members of the Company of Select Marksmen are required to attend at least two of the events highlighed in red.
May 13 - 16, Mabee Farm. At Mabee Farm Historic Site; Rotterdam Junction, New York. A bigger, better version of Lansing Manor on an 18th century farm near Schenectady, NY.
June 18 - 19, Battle of Black Creek. At Black Creek Pioneer Village; Toronto, Ontario. We will be participating as Raol's Company, 2nd NH.
July 8 -10, Hubbardton. Need I say more? This year, I think we’ll do the whole battlefield march—we have a new generation, a new breed—time to walk the 23 miles from Ti again. Will count as a mini-trek. We’ll get to chase and fight Whitcomb’s all the way! Maybe Warner’s too. Also we’ll climb the mountain. We may not see much of the actual event, but I guarantee we’ll have a ball. At Hubbardton Battlefield, Hubbardton, Vermont.
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you enjoyed it and learned something. If you are interested in learning more you might want to take some time to visit us at one of the local historic events we will be attending this year. Almost all the events except for the our annual Historic Adirondack Trek are open to the public.
The original Company of Select Marksmen was supposed to be 100 men strong. At the best of times it barely just made half that number. As a result membership in the organization is limited to about 50 men. Currently we have a small waiting list for members who wish to join us. If you would like more information regarding membership please contact one of our officers listed below. Finally, if you have comments or discover a dead link in this website please contact the Webmaster also listed below.
