Join Us for the 63rd Annual Commemoration of Colonel Edward Hand’s Delaying Tactics March
January 4, 2025
Celebrate history with us as we honor the bravery and strategy of Colonel Edward Hand! This exciting event kicks off at 10 AM with a special historical program at the Lawrence Township Municipal Building, followed by a thrilling musket firing demonstration.
Then, take part in a two-mile march along the historic highway to the delaying action sites, ending at Shabakunk Creek, near Notre Dame High School.
After the march, relax and enjoy light refreshments at the Lawrence Township Nature Center.
It’s a fun, educational, and memorable experience for all ages! Don’t miss out on this chance to walk in the footsteps of history and have a great time with your community! Any questions please contact the Lawrence Township Recreation Department 609-844-7067
