The Cecil County Militia (Caecil Militia) were out in force at Elk Landing on Labor Day weekend, 2000. Demonstrations of firearms, candle making, bobbin lace making, cooking demonstrations and much more were underway. A skirmish re-enactment with the Tories landing at Elk Landing with musket fire and full dress uniforms added excitement to the day. 

The Cecil Militia re-enact history in the time frame of 1760 to 1840. Their authentic historical encampment enabled us to experience life as our forefathers lived it. The Elk Landing Foundation would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to this group for helping to keep our history alive!

QuickTime is a free movie download from Apple Computer. Earlier versions then 4.1 will display the movie but not the sound. Windows Media Player may also work but is dependent on what revision of windows you are using. 
If you choose to download the current QuickTime player, select the link provided QuickTime 4 and leave the computer online to install. The download link provided is simply an "Installer screen" and the actual application will download and install from the www.apple.com web site. The application is about 3.5Mb so it may take awhile to download and install. After you have it installed it, return to this website and play the movie.
Note: The movie is about 1.4Mb and may take up to 5 minutes to download with a 28.8Kb modem connection. We apologize for the delay but that's the Cecil County phone lines for you!
