This unique free public display timeline event is focused on the food and rations that fed soldiers through the years! All eras are welcome, with displays that include military, home front, and camp followers. Field kitchens will compete and offer samples of period meals for a donation to attendees. There are static displays, shooting demonstrations, military surplus vendors, kids’ activities and more.
In 2025, around 300 reenactors came from around the country to put on the event and 5,000 people attended- and this year is expected to be even bigger!
