The Bristol County Fifes & Drums in the Linden Place Gardens

Linden Place Museum opens the 4th of July season with The Bristol County Fifes and Drums concert in the beautiful, historic Linden Place gardens.

The Bristol County Fifes and Drums (BCFD) of Bristol, RI are the official field music for the Bristol Train of Artillery. They are dedicated to the preservation of ancient martial music.

The six-hole, two-piece fifes and wooden shell, rope tension drums they use are reminiscent of Revolutionary War style instruments. They appear in period costume and perform to music of the 18th and 19th centuries, complete with musket fire and narration.

Tickets for the concert are $5 for general admission and free Linden Place members. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic and chairs or blankets. Reservations can be made by contacting Linden Place at (401) 253- 0390.
