The Haddonfield Skirmish (Nonprofit)

The Haddonfield Skirmish and all its related events are organized by the Friends of the Indian King Tavern.

At minimum, the group organizes:

free lectures and events on Revolutionary-era history
a theatrical event or political debate
publishes an annual newspaper
the day-long Haddonfield Skirmish, the reenactment of 1778 skirmishes coupled with town-wide events on colonial- and Revolutionary-era history.

In conjunction with local and regional organizations, the team seeks to convey the complexities of the political, economic, social and military struggles gripping the small Quaker village in 1778.

To honor the Quaker roots of the village, the organizers incorporate the pacifists' viewpoint on the American Revolution.

Events take place every spring starting in April; The Skirmish takes place on the first Saturday every June.

Join us as we get ready for 2026 -- America's 250th anniversary!

We love volunteers with all backgrounds and skill levels!
