Welcome

The Butler's Rangers were formed in 1777 under Colonel John Butler. Throughout 1777-1784, fourteen companies of Butlers were formed, and their campaigns ranged from what today is the state of Michigan, the Ohio River Valley as far south as Kentucky, and east into New England. Their objective was to silence the frontier by any means and deprive the Continental army of provision and supply. After the war, the Rangers settled on the Canada side of the Niagara River upon lands granted to them from the King.

We portray Peter Ten Broeck's Coy' in selected events throughout the northeast (and often beyond), as well as portraying a 'rebel' militia unit, the 4th Tryon County Militia.
