Revolutionary Raid Reenactment at Johnson Hall
In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, Johnson Hall State Historic Site will host a special reenactment of the first raid on the Johnson family home and the community of Johnstown. In January 1776, Revolutionary forces descended on Johnstown, disarming and arresting those accused of Loyalist sympathies. Some would remain under watchful parole. Others were brought to Albany or sent out of the New York colony for imprisonment, far from home and family. On Saturday, January 17, 2026 join Johnson Hall for a recreation of this show of Revolutionary force. Learn about the weaponry seized from the Hall and the experiences of those deemed enemies of the Revolution. Patrons will experience living history interpretations including a reenactment of the disarming and arrests, weapons firing demonstrations, live hearth cooking, and an opportunity to explore Johnson Hall against the backdrop of the tumultuous opening days of the year 1776. Visitors can also explore replica stockade fortifications constructed to resemble ones used to defend Johnson Hall in 1775 and 1776. These stockaded walls of vertical logs were a common defensive structure in North American warfare during the 18th century. Concerned by the number of Loyalists in New York being arrested, exiled, or even killed, Sir John Johnson directed the building of such stockades to fortify Johnson Hall against attack. These replica stockades were constructed by hand using 18th century building techniques. This event is free and open to all. No registration required. For questions and further information, please call 518-762-8712.
