SUMMARY:Colonial Tavern Night
DESCRIPTION:Immersive 18th Century Tavern Experience  \nOutside the church\, the tavern was the most important institution in most towns.  Taverns were used as meeting places for political assemblies (like the militia or the courts).   When people needed to conduct business meetings or hold markets\, their choices were generally the church or the tavern.  Since the Colonial Legislatures often offered inducements to tavern owners\, they saw these businesses as “operating for the common good\,” which ultimately meant that tavern meeting rooms could be appropriated for government business like courts\, polls\, and meetings of the militia. People relied on taverns as the primary means of spreading news and ideas.  Newspapers and stories were often shared by travelers in taverns.  As conflicts erupted between the Crown and her colonies in the 1760’s\, it was in the taverns that men discussed their responses and ultimate aims.  It was in the colonial tavern that the revolutionary spirit launched our nation.  Without taverns\, it is likely that the various colonies would have remained separate and subjugated to the greater British Empire. \n“To drink at a table without drinking to the health of someone special\, should be considered drinking on the Sly\, and as an act of incivility.”   – Poor Richard \nPatrons are invited to an evening of storytelling and merriment during which they can enjoy and 18th Century tavern experience complete with period beer\, cocktails\, competitive toasts\, various entertainments\, and maybe even a rousting political debate.  We will not serve food nor will be perform music but can assist the site in contracting of musicians\, food\, and other aspects of the tavern experience which will complete the evening.

DESCRIPTION:Presentation to the William Penn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Abington\, PA  \n  \nSince the records were discovered in the late 1970’s\, numerous presentations\, books\, movies/TV shows\, and presentations have been made about George Washington’s spies.  These presentations are almost exclusively centered on the MEN (like Nathan Hale) who conducted covert operations for the Continental Army and Continental Congress.  These men\, while important\, constituted less than half of the intelligence operatives in the American Revolution. \nTo be a good spy one needs to be unobserved.  In the chauvinistically male-oriented society of 18th Century England (and by extension Colonial America)\, women had a decided advantage over men when it came to collecting and transmitting secrets.  Often\, they were simply not seen so they could move through polite company\, eavesdrop and pass through checkpoints knowing it would be an affront to propriety for them to be bodily searched or challenged.  The best spies in both the American and British intelligence network were women\, especially slave women. \nThe Admiral of the Blue Apron™\, in his guise as Revolutionary Spymaster will discuss Women Spies in the American Revolution at the April meeting of the William Penn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on April 9 at 1900 at the Abington Presbyterian Church (1082 Old York Rd\, Abington\, PA 19001) .  Typical\, the Revolutionary Spymaster focuses on generic programming on spies\, but in this presentation\, he will focus not only on the practice of spy craft during the American Revolution\, but also the women who were often the unsung\, even unknown\, heroes of the war.   While there were spies from all corners of society\, in this program we will discuss the wartime careers of 10 women who were employed\, either by George Washington\, General Howe or General Clinton (or in a few cases BOTH SIDES)\, to collect and transmit key information from within the enemy’s camp in both New York City and Philadelphia.   We will discuss several known spies (most are still unknown to us\, even today) and we will discuss how these women were uniquely capable of collecting valuable intelligence and the impact their work had on the progress of the war. \nHands on exhibits on codes and cyphers as well as the Admiral of the Blue Apron’s punchbowl (known to loosen a few tongues) will be available.

SUMMARY:World War II "Echoes of Valor"
DESCRIPTION:World War II “Echoes of Valor” April 17-19\, 2026 \nEchoes of Valor stands as this area of Northwest Ohio’s longest-running dedicated World War II reenactment\, and one of the first events of its kind to return to the area in many years. Born from a labor of love by reenactors determined to share the stories of the Greatest Generation\, the event has grown into a powerful living history experience. \nToday\, Echoes of Valor is presented as a joint effort between the Defiance County Historical Society and Historical Frontline Events\, a nonprofit organization devoted to preserving history through immersive reenactments and education. It is now led by the same team—Jacob Kessler and Trenton Coleman—who brought the highly successful Operation Homecoming to Wauseon\, Ohio. \nMore than just a reenactment\, Echoes of Valor is a community-driven tribute that ensures the courage\, sacrifice\, and legacy of those who lived through the Second World War are never forgotten. \nThere will be a WWII Encampment and Reenactment\, open to the public\, including stations where reenactors will discuss different aspects of being a soldier during different points of the war. The event features a weapons demonstration and public “battles” on Saturday and Sunday to demonstrate some of the different skills and tactics used\, and just how difficult combat could be for the soldiers. \nAll types of military equipment\, supplies\, and vehicles to include tracked vehicles are welcome. \nParticipants can contact the following for more information: AuGlaize Village Historical Reenactors\, Trenton Coleman at email: trentcoleman35@yahoo.com \n  \nVendors contact Tim Frederick at: villageauglaize@gmail.com \nPlease join us as we recreate and celebrate our history for the America250 celebration! \nEmail us at villageauglaize@gmail.com Website: auglaizevillage.com

SUMMARY:Colonial Spymaster
DESCRIPTION:Codes and Cyphers of the American Revolution \nGoing into the Revolution\, Americans were at a huge disadvantage to the European powers when it came to cryptography\, many of which had been using secret offices where sensitive letters were opened and deciphered by public officials for centuries. It was not uncommon for the messages of Revolutionary leaders and American diplomats to be intercepted and read by their enemies\, both at home and abroad. To combat this\, many of our founding fathers and key generals relied heavily on the use of cryptography.  Cryptography is split into two ways of changing the message systematically to confuse anyone who intercepts it: these are codes and ciphers. Many people believe\, and use\, the word code to mean the same thing as cipher\, but technically they are different. \nA code is a way of changing the message by replacing each word with another word that has a different meaning. For example\, “Burn the City” could become “Take the rubbish” where the word “burn” is represented by the codeword “take”\, and similarly for “city” and “rubbish”. Using codes requires a codebook\, which contains all such codewords. Considering the large number of words in most languages\, this is normally quite a large book\, making the use of codes rather cumbersome (it is a bit like a French dictionary\, giving the translation to and from the codeword). However\, they can be used to encode key words in a message. Consider the message “Kill him as soon as possible”. With a simple change of a single word this becomes “Meet him as soon as possible”\, which may pass through security detection without being noticed. So\, although potentially hard to use\, a simple code can be very effective\, since even if the message is intercepted\, they can be used so that the code reads as an innocent or unrelated topic. \nCiphers\, on the other hand\, convert the message by a rule\, known only to the sender and recipient\, which changes each individual letter (or sometimes groups of letters). Ciphers\, are significantly easier to use than codes\, since the users only have to remember a specific algorithm (a mathematical word for process) to encrypt the message\, and not a whole dictionary of codewords. The major setback for ciphers compared to codes is that if someone finds a message that has been encrypted using a cipher\, the output is almost certainly going to be a random string of letters or symbols\, and as such the interceptor will know straight away that someone wanted to hide this message. \nCryptography was no parlor game for the idle classes\, but a serious business for revolutionary era statesmen who\, like today’s politicians and spies\, needed to conduct their business using secure messaging.  Codes and ciphers involved rearranged letters\, number substitutions\, and other methods. What follows are some of the most common cyphers used by George Washington and the Continental Army. \nThis is an interactive program. As the Spy Master (dressed in Military attire) I will recruit and train spies and provide them with hands on exercises to practice their spy craft before being sent into the British encampments to collect intelligence.  We will present several codes and cyphers for the participants to encode and decode messages\, “dead drop” will be established in the environs of Carpenters Hall for our spies to exchange messages with other spies\, and we will have discussions of famous spies in the George Washington’s and General Howe’s employ. \nEspionage was critical to the war effort for both the British and American armies.  This program is envisioned to give participants an opportunity to consider the risks these spies undertook and the hardships they encountered in providing information to their respective generals.  I also want to add some clarity on the dilemma faced by Benedict Arnold as he considered his loyalties.

SUMMARY:Colonial brewing with Regimental Brewmeister
DESCRIPTION:Long before the American Revolutionary War\, the British Army in North America learned from the French the importance of spruce beer for treating and preventing scurvy and keeping their soldiers “fit for service.”  John Knox\, an officer in the 43rd Regiment of Foot\, insisted that his troops at Louisburg (1745) be supplied with spruce beer\, “this liquor being thought necessary for the preservation of the health of our men.” When British troops were again involved in a campaign against the French in Nova Scotia in 1757\, their commander\, the Earl of Loudoun\, insisted on an allowance of two quarts of spruce beer per man each day.  General Jeffrey Amherst\, chief of British forces in North America\, insisted that the troops be well supplied with spruce beer\, “for the health and convenience of the troops.” A brewery was set up at the head of Lake George with each regiment donating one man to help with the brewing.  When Amherst’s troops moved north to capture the French Fort Carillon\, subsequently renamed Fort Ticonderoga\, each regiment took with it eight barrels of spruce beer.  Following the British lead\, George Washington quickly adopted the use of spruce beer in order to keep his troops fit for service.  “The following is the Ration of Provisions allowed by the Continental Congress unto each Soldier. …One quart of Spruce Beer per man\, pr diem\,…” \nThe Regimental Brewmeister is my interpretation of what a brewer in HM 43rd would be. It is an amalgamation of Captain Jonathan Gilford from Thomas Fleming’s Liberty Tavern (1976)\, and my portrayal of a Private in HM 43rd Regiment of Foot.  The Regimental Brewmeister presents as a retired British soldier who is now a middle-class journeyman brewer.  I dress well\, and I want to present myself in a manner that shows that while I am not a Gentleman\, I am not a common laborer either. You will find military service has made a distinct impression upon the Regimental Brewmeister\, and he is not apolitical.  Despite his loyalist roots\, he is a stanch supporter of republican ideals but can argue both sides of the conflict. \nThe equipment I use is very basic.  The beer I brew is my own recipe\, derived but not copied from 18th Century sources.  Like brewers of the era\, I do all my work without instrumentation\, relying upon my basic senses of sight\, smell\, hearing\, taste\, and touch to do the work modern brewers have instrumentation like clocks\, scales\, hydrometers\, and thermometers for.  My aim is to recreate the methods\, brews\, and experience of a brewer from 1778 while telling stories of the American Revolution.

SUMMARY:Colonial brewing with Regimental Brewmeister
DESCRIPTION:Long before the American Revolutionary War\, the British Army in North America learned from the French the importance of spruce beer for treating and preventing scurvy and keeping their soldiers “fit for service.”  John Knox\, an officer in the 43rd Regiment of Foot\, insisted that his troops at Louisburg (1745) be supplied with spruce beer\, “this liquor being thought necessary for the preservation of the health of our men.” When British troops were again involved in a campaign against the French in Nova Scotia in 1757\, their commander\, the Earl of Loudoun\, insisted on an allowance of two quarts of spruce beer per man each day.  General Jeffrey Amherst\, chief of British forces in North America\, insisted that the troops be well supplied with spruce beer\, “for the health and convenience of the troops.” A brewery was set up at the head of Lake George with each regiment donating one man to help with the brewing.  When Amherst’s troops moved north to capture the French Fort Carillon\, subsequently renamed Fort Ticonderoga\, each regiment took with it eight barrels of spruce beer.  Following the British lead\, George Washington quickly adopted the use of spruce beer in order to keep his troops fit for service.  “The following is the Ration of Provisions allowed by the Continental Congress unto each Soldier. …One quart of Spruce Beer per man\, pr diem\,…” \nThe Regimental Brewmeister is my interpretation of what a brewer in HM 43rd would be. It is an amalgamation of Captain Jonathan Gilford from Thomas Fleming’s Liberty Tavern (1976)\, and my portrayal of a Private in HM 43rd Regiment of Foot.  The Regimental Brewmeister presents as a retired British soldier who is now a middle-class journeyman brewer.  I dress well\, and I want to present myself in a manner that shows that while I am not a Gentleman\, I am not a common laborer either. You will find military service has made a distinct impression upon the Regimental Brewmeister\, and he is not apolitical.  Despite his loyalist roots\, he is a stanch supporter of republican ideals but can argue both sides of the conflict. \nThe equipment I use is very basic.  The beer I brew is my own recipe\, derived but not copied from 18th Century sources.  Like brewers of the era\, I do all my work without instrumentation\, relying upon my basic senses of sight\, smell\, hearing\, taste\, and touch to do the work modern brewers have instrumentation like clocks\, scales\, hydrometers\, and thermometers for.  My aim is to recreate the methods\, brews\, and experience of a brewer from 1778 while telling stories of the American Revolution.
