Whiskey Rebellion Weekend

Step back in time at Woodville Plantation, when this living history museum presents a special weekend to commemorate the anniversary of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794.

Interpreters portraying the troops of the Fourth Sub-Legion of the United States will make camp at Woodville Plantation. Visit the soldiers that defended John Neville's property during the opening days of the Whiskey Rebellion. Learn what camp life was like in the U.S. Army of 1794 and participate with the soldiers as they march and drill. Events of the day include tactical demonstrations, musket firing, music demonstrations, marching and ceremonial drills. Visitors will learn 18th century cooking techniques as Woodville's cooks prepare dinner for the encamped troops.  Special hours for this event will be from noon to 5 pm, with a special admission price of $5 per person, children under 6 free.
