As a part of Closter's 300th anniversary month, a number of dedicated players staged a reenactment of a combined British (red coats) and Loyalist (green coats) raid on a house in Closter in May of 1779. The raid was countered by the local militia (without uniforms). The house itself, built in 1740, still stands at 80 Hickory Lane, much unchanged from the time it was taken by the British.
