The Skirmish brings history books to life with a day of Revolutionary War soldiers, horses, clashes between colonists and redcoats, family friendly programming, music, and important moments from South Jersey and Haddonfield’s history in the founding of the U.S.

At this event, the British invade Haddonfield and are challenged by Continental troops, just as they did 244 years ago -- in June 1778. Redcoats on horseback charge, muskets are fired, and the Continentals try to stop the redcoats before they head off to New York (and are intercepted at the Battle at Monmouth). The Skirmish and a day of events surrounding it take place on and around Kings Highway, Haddonfield’s main street.

The Skirmish, an outdoor, free event, has been running for a decade.
