    02/19/2011 10:00 AM 02/19/2011 04:00 PM America/Anguilla The British Are Coming! "The British are coming!" Revolutionary War era British Soldiers will greet visitors to Fort Mifflin on the Delaware on Saturday, February 19th from 10 AM till 4 PM. Guests are invited to interact with the "Redcoats" who were a common, although unwelcome, sight in Philadelphia during the winter of 1777 when they occupied the city. Fort Mifflin's resident Redcoats and Loyalist troops will bring to life the daily routine of the occupying army during that critical winter, while General Washington was encamped at Valley Forge. Visitors can try writing with a quill pen and join in a (wooden) musket drill to learn the proper care and firing of the weapons in use during the Revolutionary War.
