Civil War Encampment Weekend



Federal and Confederate troops recreate Civil War daily life as reenactors demonstrate the varied work of the army. Skirmishes each day include infantry, artillery, and cavalry. Stop by the surgeon's tent to see how the sick and wounded were treated. Civilians show how life went on as husbands, sons, and brothers marched off to war. Visit the weekend encampment and discover a soldier's lifestyle during this turbulent time in America's history. House tour includes artifacts rarely on exhibit belonging to the Haight family, mid-19th century residents at Sully.

Join the activities on August 18 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and August 19 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at Sully Historic Site.
