The regiment does approximately 8 to 10 events a year, mostly concentrated in the spring and fall months. So as to not waste anyone's time on reenactments of limited interest, or non-historical events, and to ensure maximum participation, we have chosen to do a small quantity of high quality events. These can be a living history encampment at some historic site, a battle reenactment on an original battle site, or a performance of dragoon tactics of the 18th Century. Members are required to make 2 events a year plus 1 winter drill session.


Our geographical range of events is approximately within a 150 mile radius of Philadelphia.


The Calendar of Events is normally established at our January Annual Meeting, with periodic updates throughout the year. Event information is conveyed to the membership through the troop newsletter, "The Trumpet", two weeks prior to the events, and also with e-mail updates.
