Old Mill Village

This event has quickly become one of our unit's favorites. Although it is small, it gets us together with close friends in a pristine location, away from most modern distractions. Once again we enjoyed ourselves tremendously, and the hospitality extended to us by Selin's Independent Rifle Company and the 24th Connecticut Regiment was nothing short of superb. It is a pleasure to be invited to share in their camp, as they are welcome with us anytime. The area around Old Mill Village is picturesque and serene ... talk about your magic moments, climbing into the woods to stage an old fashioned F&I ambush was just surrounded by sights, sounds and smells of the 18th Century.
