Join Raymond Beets at the Michigantown Community Center on May 7 at
5:30 p.m. to get a reenactor’s perspective on the Revolutionary War.

In his presentation, Beets will help the Revolutionary War come alive for his audience by
demonstrating militia and Continental Army uniforms as well as his rifle, musket, and other
items from the Colonial period. He will also discuss the historical inaccuracies of the famous
poem “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” along with the history of the song “Yankee Doodle
Dandy.” In addition, Beets will talk about the Declaration of Independence and its meaning for
us today.

Beets, who is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, has been actively honoring the
memory of his nine patriot ancestors as a reenactor for 13 years.

Sponsored by the Clinton County Genealogical Society, this program is free and open to the
public. If you are planning to attend, please RSVP to clintoncogensociety@gmail.com by April
30 so arrangements can be made to accommodate everyone.

For those who cannot attend in person, the presentation will be broadcast via Facebook Live.
