- **Event Name**: A World Turned Upside Down: Confiscation and Occupation in Johnstown, 1776
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 03:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Only five months after raiding and disarming Johnstown in January of 1776, Continental soldiers occupied the community once again in May, seizing Johnson Hall, searching the town, and arresting residents accused of refusing to support the Revolution. Lady Johnson, her young children, and other members of the household were taken to Albany, held hostage to ensure the compliance of the Johnson family. By the time Revolutionary troops departed, residents of Johnstown, rebel, loyalist, and neutral alike, found their world turned upside down, facing an uncertain future in the civil war that was to come.

Saturday, May 16th and Sunday, May 17th, Johnson Hall will commemorate the 250th anniversary of this event with two days of living history reenactments, including the arrival and military display of the 3rd New Jersey regiment in Johnstown, diplomatic negotiations with Mohawk delegates, the arrest of accused dissidents, the eviction and detention of Lady Johnson and her children, and the confiscation and ultimate looting of Johnson Hall by Revolutionary forces.
