Description
About 1st Ulster County Militia
Our goal is to educate the public about our country's Colonial and Revolutionary War heritage, to support and promote local historical sites, and to work to maintain historical accuracy while we enjoy the comradery and friendship of like-minded citizens.
We attempt to recreate a Revolutionary War camp with an appreciation of the time and labor our forefathers and foremothers gave to everyday life, and to that end are constantly researching and polishing our image, in an effort to come as close as possible to an historically-correct impression.
The original 1st Ulster County Militia was founded in 1776, under the command of Johannes Snyder, and served throughout the war, notably during the actions connected with the Burgoyne Campaign in 1777.
