Join us as we take a stroll back in time to experience Union Mounted Calvary, the roar of Field Artillery, Union and Confederate infantry demonstrating

musket firing, Field Surgeons demonstrating the medical technology and reality of being wounded in battle, a look at a Women’s role with demonstrations

over a real campfire and an authentic taste of Victorian cooking. And don’t miss the concluding activity with a combined Union and Confederate

infantry skirmish with canon support.

 

You will see and hear the sound of cannon and musket fire, but there will be NO projectiles used…only gunpowder.
