Cavalry Day - U.V.M. Morgan Horse Farm, Weybridge

Past event
Sep 8, 2018, 10 AM to 3 PM

Bring a picnic lunch to the UVM Morgan Horse Farm, rain or shine, for this family-friendly educational event to learn about the Morgan's important role in the building of this nation. Members from the 1st Vermont Cavalry, "Co. K", will recreate living history through civil war reenactments and demonstrations. The day will include mounted drills, a reenactment tent, informative talks, and historical photos. Visit the beautiful Farm, a Vermont treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the herd of Morgans who descend from the original Morgan sire, Figure, born in 1789, and whose ancestors were the preferred Cavalry horse through WWI. Hope to see you there!
