Marching Through Time (MTT) April 16-17, 2011

Marietta Mansion 5626 Bell Station Road Glenn Dale, Md. 20769

Spend the day at our annual multi-period living history encampment including re-enactors from 1st century Romans through 20th century World War II and more. Demonstrations include camp and domestic life, cooking, crafts, weaponry, and military drills. Also featuring period merchants and food. No pets please. Free parking at Glenn Dale Community Center with continuous shuttle service to event.

This is a great event for people with an interest in history. Wolf and myself will be portraying archers in Lord Grey's Retinue.

Funny thing is, this is like right around the corner from me and I only heard about it last year, just after it occurred, on here actually.  I'm looking forward to this...

Sir James, that link did not work for me.

In two weeks...think I'll bring the family; is there a cover charge or anything we need to be aware of?

There is a fee but I cannot recall how much (as I am always a reenactor on site) I think between $5-$12 per person at the most.

I found the new website for the house http://www.pgparks.com/places/eleganthistoric/marietta_events.html however no mention of the cost on there.

I just read that there will be no fee to enter this year as the house is closed for renovation. It seems like a reliable source from the county government.

Excellent...not too early.  I imagine we should probably get their early to ensure a parking space?
