Roger's Rangers To Visit Mackinaw City This Weekend

Mackinac State Historic Parks will host the Jaeger's Battalion of Roger's Rangers encampment at Colonial Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City Saturday, August 11, and Sunday, August 12, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Reenactors from throughout Michigan will join the 18th century British troops already stationed at the reconstructed fort. During their stay, reenactors will portray a British military group from the Revolutionary War period.

The Roger's Rangers military unit fought guerilla-style warfare away from the front lines, and demonstrations will showcase this unique military tactic. Reenactors at the encampment will supplement the Fort's daily events with demonstrations of marching and drilling, period clothing, and equipment.

All events are included with admission to Colonial Michilimackinac.
