The Varnum Continentals Marching Militia comprises some of our hardest-working and proactive members who travel New England (and sometimes beyond.) to march in uniform or participate in special programs and ceremonies.

Very often, members of our historical marching militia are the Varnum Continentals’ public face and interact with the public on regular basis to promote patriotism and pride in U.S. history. Also, they have loads of fun marching in our distinctive 18th century historical uniforms and carrying period arms!

To join the marching militia, you must join the Varnum Continentals first! Just click here to fill out our membership form.

RI National Guard Tour the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum

July 17, 2022 By James Mitchell Varnum

At the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum, we gave an in-depth tour for a group of new Rhode Island National Guard recruits as part of their Recruit Sustainment Program. They loved it! So did the officers present they want to make this a regular part of their program.
