Step into the past and experience history like never before during our Civil War Living History event. Visitors will be transported to the 1860s as soldiers and civilians bring the era to life through authentic camps, demonstrations, and interactive experiences.
Walk among encampments, witness daily soldier life, and learn how civilians endured wartime challenges. Guests will experience the sights, sounds, and even the smells of history through hands-on demonstrations including military drills, and life on the homefront with civilians.
This educational and family-friendly event offers a unique opportunity to engage with knowledgeable interpreters, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the lives of those who lived through the Civil War. Perfect for all ages, this immersive experience allows visitors to step into history and connect with the past in a meaningful and memorable way.
