Bushy Run Battlefield, the Penn Township site of a 1763 British victory over Native American foes, held a Charter Day celebration Sunday.

Visitors mingled with reenactors in period garb while taking free tours of the battlefield visitor center. Musket drills and children’s crafts also were featured.

The event marked the 339th anniversary of England’s King Charles II granting a charter to William Penn for the settlement of Pennsylvania, in 1681.
