For our August Living History, instead of taking the visitors back in time, we are going to bring the Amercian Civil War to the 21st Century!
This will begin a quarterly civil war synopis program where we will break down, explore and discuss different aspects of the American Civil war.
Through Guest Historian Speakers, demonstration and exhibits we will dissect and explore how war effected and changed Sumner County and it's people.
This is an indoor, climate controlled event with limited space. It is suitable for the Civil War Novice through Civil War expert. Lunch is provided, tickets available for purchase via EVENTZILLA. $10 per person.
