SUMMARY:250th Battle of White Plains (CL National)
DESCRIPTION:Where: Ward Pound Ridge Reservation\, Westchester County\, N.Y. \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nFor most current info see: https://www.brigade.org/whiteplains2026 \n\n\n\nThis is the designated 2026 national event for the CL and BAR\, we should have maximum participation. \n\n\n\nThe 250th Battle of White Plains \n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with Westchester County Tourism\, this commemorative weekend will interpret one of the defining engagements of the 1776 New York Campaign. \n\n\n\nFollowing the loss of New York City\, General George Washington withdrew the Continental Army northward\, preserving his force while requiring the British to continually adapt their strategy. At White Plains\, American forces occupied favorable terrain and engaged Crown forces in a hard-fought action. Although British forces ultimately captured Chatterton Hill\, Washington successfully withdrew his army intact and ensured that the Revolution would continue. \n\n\n\nOur goal is to tell that larger story through an immersive weekend of military and civilian living history. \n\n\n\nTwo Distinct Event Areas \n\n\n\nBecause of the anticipated public attendance\, the event will consist of two distinct areas. \n\n\n\nZone A – RevFest will be operated by Westchester County Tourism as a family-oriented public festival featuring food vendors\, sponsors\, community organizations\, entertainment\, and family activities. This area will intentionally have a modern atmosphere and\, pursuant to the grant requirements\, is separate from the Brigade’s operational control. \n\n\n\nZone B – Brigade Living History Area will contain the Brigade’s dedicated 18th-century programming\, including the Continental and Crown encampments\, military demonstrations\, tactical programming\, civilian interpretation\, artisans\, and camp life. \n\n\n\nA major priority throughout our planning has been maintaining separation between these two areas so visitors can transition from the modern festival into an immersive 18th-century environment. \n\n\n\nCamp Assignments & Layout \n\n\n\nUnlike many events where units simply establish their camps as they arrive\, White Plains will utilize predetermined camp assignments. \n\n\n\nThe Brigade has developed detailed CAD-generated schematics for the Continental and Crown encampments. These plans include company streets\, tent locations\, fire lanes\, pedestrian routes\, camp kitchens\, public access\, and support areas. \n\n\n\nEvery unit will receive an assigned camping area prior to the event. \n\n\n\nThis is one of the reasons the upcoming requests for final tentage and participant numbers are so important. We want to make sure each unit has adequate space while creating an organized and historically appropriate military encampment. \n\n\n\nDetailed participant and camp maps will be distributed before the event. \n\n\n\nParticipant Amenities \n\n\n\nWard Pound Ridge Reservation provides us with an extraordinary amount of space\, but participants should be prepared for considerable walking throughout the weekend. \n\n\n\nTo make the experience as comfortable as possible\, our current plans include water buffalo stations within close walking distance of both military camps\, portable restrooms adjacent to the encampments\, modern shower facilities elsewhere within the reservation\, and designated modern camping and RV areas for participants who prefer not to stay within the historic camps. \n\n\n\nClearly marked pedestrian routes will connect the camps\, parking areas\, tactical field\, and public programming. \n\n\n\nFirewood will also be delivered to designated locations near the encampments for distribution within the camps. \n\n\n\nTactical Demonstration \n\n\n\nThe Battle of White Plains will be interpreted through a carefully planned two-phase tactical demonstration emphasizing battlefield maneuver\, command and control\, terrain\, and the fighting withdrawal that characterized the campaign. \n\n\n\nThe action will begin with the Crown advance against the Continental position and portray the American withdrawal toward Chatterton Hill before culminating in the assault on the American position. \n\n\n\nOur goal is not simply to create battlefield spectacle. The tactical is being designed to help the public understand why the battle unfolded as it did and how Washington preserved his army despite the loss of the field.
