Sully Historic Site offers many events throughout the year that brings the past to the present for visitors to learn more about specific eras in history. Every August Sully hosts its Civil War Encampment Weekend. The public is invited to come watch and interact with living history participants as they go through their day during these war-torn years of the 19th century.
Visitors who attend will see firsthand how people lived, worked and/or served in one of the armies during this era. Living history participants will "skirmish" and you'll see infantry, artillery and cavalry as it existed in the 1860s.
You can also view and/or ask questions to learn more about this pivotal time in American history. See what encampments looked like and also experience live music and fashion of that era.

That sounds really interesting. How was the heat the year you went? I would imagine August is warm
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty warm that year if memory serves, but yes, August is typically still pretty warm here. I love the events at Sully, they have some good ones.
