Historical reenactment at Cumberland Plantation

Above, kids get an up-close look at a blacksmith exhibition during a historical reenactment of the Revolutionary period as part of New Kent Historical Society's event on Oct. 11 at Cumberland Plantation. Approximately 15 exhibits depicting the time period were on display and allowed kids and adults to participate in activities of the era, such as painting with candle wax (below) and transportation by horse and carriage (at bottom).
