August 30-31 Civil War Era Weekend
Saturday 10 am – 5 pm, Sunday 10 am – 4 pm
Museum Village’s most popular event, the 33nd annual Civil War Re-Enactment sponsored by Frontier Communications, August 30-31,
combines drama and history, intellectual pursuit with a passion for authenticity and accuracy. More than two hundred re-enactors
take over the museum grounds for the weekend, bringing history to life. Museum visitors get to witness living history on a grand
scale as families prepare their meals and tend to the children, wash laundry and meet their other basic needs.
The men, dressed in exacting reproduction uniforms of both Union and Confederate armies, drill for battle and happily stop to explain their arms,
clothing, or 1860’s politics to passers-by who show an interest.
Visitors get to stroll through the historic camps of the Union and Confederate soldiers asking questions about uniforms or weapons, lifestyle and their military units. The sutlers, merchants who followed the soldiers and provided goods, will have booths set up with 19th century style merchandise for sale. The barn will be open to the public for the first time and kids can feed the chickens and goats. A special exhibit in the new temporary exhibits gallery – Scraps, Stars and Stripes: Piecing Together our Stories, features scrapbooks, quilts and the American flags from the museum’s rarely seen collections. Fashion shows, riding demonstrations, medical exhibits, and a church service Sunday morning round out the event.
The highlight of each day is the battle re-enactment taking place on the eastern slope of the museum grounds. Canons, artillery, men on horseback and soldiers dodging bullets and sniping from tree cover animate the hillside while onlookers relax in the shade of the trees enjoying their lunch.
The Civil War reflects a distant past to most Americans. Come get a glimpse of the past August 30-31 from 10 am – 5 Saturday, and 10-4 pm on Sunday. Additional event sponsors include Action Plus Project Management. Prices at the door: $15, $8.
Reduced rate tickets ($10 adults/$5 for children 4-16, seniors, disabled, active military) are available until August 28.
