The Bushy Run Battle Reenactment was once again a big draw in Penn Township.
The Trib reports that more than 1,000 visitors were present by 1:00 PM on Saturday, with up to 5,000 visitors over the weekend. The event was going to be cancelled this year due to new regulations that prevented “force on force” reenactments from the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission, but the Commission reversed course earlier this year, saying that those portraying Native Americans consult with members of relevant tribes to ensure historical accuracy.
The commission, which governs Bushy Run and all other state-owned historic sites, approved a final version of its living history policy last Monday, allowing “historic weapons demonstrations, tactical exercises and ‘force-on-force’ reenactments depicting combat between opposing forces.”
