Legion Centennial Day in the Bronx October 7

Sunday, October 7 at 11 AM – 4 PM, the Samuel H. Young American Legion Post 620 is holding a ceremony to honor the memory of the post’s namesake to mark the centennial of his death in France. The post is inviting reenactors to participate in the ceremonies and provide living history about World War I for the public at its post in the Bronx. There will be a daylong living history and public reception on the grounds of the Legion post.

This is the same post where we have held our swap meet for the past 2 years.
