2026 Season Schedule

To the Faithful Inhabitants of Our Towns and Neighboring Villages,

Good People and Steadfast Friends,

By the grace of Providence and the steady hands of those who yet remember the duties owed to hearth, home, and liberty, I write to you at the turning of the year to announce the mustering of our Company’s engagements for the year of Our Lord 2026.

Know this: the Militia does not assemble for spectacle alone, nor for idle march or hollow drum. We gather to remember, to instruct, and to stand visible—that the spirit which once bound farmer, tradesman, and scholar alike in common cause may not fade from the land.

In the coming months, you shall see us upon the green and along the road; at churches, schools, and shores; at parades of remembrance and gatherings of instruction. We shall honor the fallen, instruct the young, and walk again the paths once trod by those who dared to believe that free people might govern themselves.

From winter’s solemn remembrances to summer’s spirited assemblies; from the schoolyard to the battlefield shore; from the quiet dignity of Veterans Day to the bright cheer of holiday parades—the Company stands ready.

Let it be known that these appearances are not pageantry alone, but public trust made visible. Each drumbeat, each color unfurled, each step taken in unison serves as reminder: liberty is not inherited by chance, but preserved by attention, labor, and shared memory.

We ask not that every citizen take up arms, but that all lend their goodwill. Attend when you are able. Speak to your children of what you see. Remember that this Commonwealth was not gifted its freedoms—it earned them.

So long as there remain townsfolk willing to gather, to remember, and to stand together in honest purpose, the flame once lit in New England shall not be extinguished.

God keep you,
God keep this Commonwealth,
and may we prove worthy of those who came before us.

— Your Humble and Obedient Servants of,
