Joe Holt, from Vernon, acts in the Historic Hanna's Town Frontier Court Reenactments in Hanna's Town, on Saturday, June 24, 2017.

If you want frontier justice, first you have to go to frontier court.

Officials from Historic Hanna’s Town will present a period-appropriate reenactment of a frontier court — along with a host of other history-themed activities — June 23-24 at the town, located at 809 Forbes Trail Road, Hempfield.

On June 23, there will be a flag raising at 9:30 a.m., and a colonial garden presentation at 10 a.m.

On June 24, there will be an 18th century church service at 9:30 a.m.

Both days will include militia drilling at 10:45 a.m., presentations on historically-accurate beer making, blacksmithing, midwifery and fife-and-drum performances.

There will be a colonial garden talk at 3 p.m. Beginning at 3:45 p.m., the frontier court will reenact real court cases heard in the Hanna’s Town area between 1773 and 1786.

Both days will wrap up with a recollection of the burning of Hanna’s Town at 4:45 p.m.

For more, call 724-532-1935.

TribLIVE commenting policy

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
