A few shots from our event last weekend in Phillips Maine at the Sandy River Railroad #reenacting #train #newengland #maine #rhodeisland

The men of the 2nd formed up for the last time #otd 160 years ago to be paid after returning home to Providence. They served with honor and distinction losing 196 men KIA, 297 WIA and 62 MIA in 4 years, for a 28% casualty rate. #rihistory #ushistory #civilwar #americancivilwar

DID YOU KNOW? According to regulations it was up to the first sergeant to make sure the men were filling their canteen with water and not whiskey. Problem is... who’s watching the first sergeant? #whiskey #canteen #dyk #iykyk #water #camping #reenacting #rhodeisland #rihistory

In prep for the 160th Sailors Creek hiking the trails of Goddard Memorial Park, named after Lt. Col. Robert H. I. Goddard an aide on General Ambrose Burnside’s staff. #history #rhodeisland #rihistory #goddardpark

We always love going to schools and teaching on the sacrifices of the boys of the 2nd! #RhodeIsland #coventry
