• In its second annual stop in Needham, a Revolutionary War reenactment troupe spoke with attendees about their military unit and fielded inquiries about their operations on Saturday.

Actors in The King’s Own 4th Foot Light Infantry Company returned to the Town Common, where they showed off period-accurate weaponry, conducted drills with children and answered questions about the history of their company during the American Revolutionary War.
