Learning about war through the ages
You can experience military history through the ages in one afternoon at the Old Bethpage Restoration during Military Timeline Weekend, this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
During the Military Timeline event, visitors will get an up-close and personal look — through interactive displays, rumbling tanks and knowledgeable historians — at some of the violent forces that have shaped our world.
Living historians will present uniforms, weapons and tactics from Roman gladiators through Revolutionary War Minutemen and WWI Doughboys to Vietnam-era GI’s. A world-class collection of WWII armor will be on display.
Adult admission is $10, with discounts for veterans and seniors, and $5 for children. The Old Bethpage Reservation is at 1303 Round Swamp Rd., Old Bethpage. For details, call 516-572-8401 or visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/parks.
