In addition, participate in many of the same activities that Civil War soldiers did in the field, from playing games and singing songs, to marching, drilling, skirmishing, and other planned scenarios. Non-firing wooden muskets and battle flags provided.
Lunch and dinner will be provided by BNHV for all registered children. Parents can join their children for the chicken dinner, being held from 4:00 to 5:00 pm, for an additional $3 per parent.
