The Henricus Militia was mentioned in an article recapping the 400th anniversary of war between the Appamatuck Tribe & English colonists event on November 2, 2013. The event, which proved successful, showed many visitors what life was like in the 1600s.
“During the re-enactment of an Appamatuck war council, visitors gained an understanding of the impact of the conflict on the tribe. The Appamatuck used English iron tools and other trade goods, but the settlers took valuable tribal lands and used women and children for work in the tobacco fields. The tribe didn’t have the advantage of leaving the area because it was surrounded by enemies: the Monacan to the west, and the Iroquois to the north and south. ”
