The Bethel Historical Society has received a grant from the Elizabeth Raymond Ambler Trust of Wilton. The $2,500 grant supports their Living History Day on June 8th.  The day-long event features several groups of American Revolutionary War reenactors bringing history to life. There are military encampments, tactical exercises, firelock shooting including a canon, competitions, camp life demonstrations, horses, a blacksmith, and social activities.  Bethel Town Historian Patrick Wild will make a presentation and the Boy Scouts will present Passport to Bethel, which will teach participants about Bethel’s unique historic structures.
