Thirteenth Continental Regiment American Revolutionary War re-enactment group located in South-eastern Massachusetts. Open to all. The unit is always looking for new members.

Reorganized and commissioned in 1992 by the town of Rehoboth for our 350th anniversary celebrations, in 1993, the unit provided military support for the "reclamation" or "takeover" ceremonies of the original Rehoboth township which encompassed the following communities: Attleboro, North Attleboro, Seekonk,and Swansea, Mass., Cumberland, Pawtucket, East Providence, Barrington, Warren and Bristol, R.I.. The members of the Company were all town committee members for Rehoboth's Revolutionary War Encampment and Battle held October, 1993. Since our founding, we have taken part in numerous parades, ceremonies, encampments, and battle re-enactments for various communities. The present recreated group portrays the original 1774 unit in civilian dress, accoutrements and fi****ms. Individuals and families are encouraged to participate with the unit as musketmen, drummers and fifers. In 1995, the unit was incorporated as a non-profit, educational organization by it's present members, and has joined such organized groups such as the Continental Line, The Burning of the Valleys Military Association,Inc., The Living History Association and a proud member of the Commanders Round Table. The Continental Line is a body of Revolutionary War re-enacting groups such as ours dedicated to living history education.

Edit: The image of a house originally posted was the home of Stephen Carpenter, not Thomas Carpenter III. Stephen Carpenter's house was also on Bay State Rd. , closer to the intersection of Rt. 44 and it was razed just as a commenter pointed out. Col. Thomas Carpenter's house still stands.
This month 250 years ago a new Rehoboth regiment is formed under Colonel Thomas Carpenter III. Thomas was prominent in town affairs and elected as delegate in 1774 to represent Rehoboth in the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. He became Commander of the First Bristol Regiment from 1776-1780 and was on duty at White Plains, NY and for several months was stationed in Rhode Island. He was a "man of large size and mental capacity and highly esteemed." Three of Col. Thomas Carpenter's sons, Thomas, Stephen, and James, all served in the Revolutionary War.
Photographed is the house he built with his wife, Elizabeth Moulton in 1755. The house still stands and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Visit the Carpenter Museum to learn more about Col. Carpenter and other prominent Rehoboth figures in the Revolutionary War.
