As a part of
Closter's 300th anniversary month, a number of dedicated
players staged a reenactment of a combined British (red
coats) and Loyalist (green coats) raid on a house in
Closter in May of 1779. The raid was countered by the
local militia (without uniforms). The house itself, built
in 1740, still stands at 80 Hickory Lane, much unchanged
from the time it was taken by the British.
