About Us
Spirit of 76 LHA is a living history group dedicated to presenting and educating about 18th century soldier, sailor, and civilian lives and experiences during the era with interactive events, camps, and demonstrations.
Who We Portray
We portray soldiers, sailors, musicians, and civilians who lived during the 18th century and American Revolutionary era. The Columbia Fife & Drum, 43rd Regiment of Foot, 3rd New Hampshire, Artillery, HMS Chatham, and Civilians are our six main units. New impressions or units appropriate to the time period are welcome.
Our Events
We participate in patriotic parades throughout the year in Western Washington. We also host 18th century living history camps with military demonstrations, including the Encampment on Thompson Creek, St. George's Day Commemorative Encampment, and our 2024 Inaugural Heritage Festival. See our Events Page for more information!
Our Uniforms and Accoutrements
