Hudson Valley Happenings Blog : You Are Invited To A Civil War Reenactment On July 25 and 26 2009 Liberty NY

You Are Invited To A Civil War Reenactment On July 25 and 26 2009 Liberty NY

 

There has been a lot of interest from my readers about the Civil War Re-enacting my family does.  
I would love to invite those of you in the Greater Hudson Valley of New York
to a re-enactment to see an event for yourselves.
firing line 
Our unit the 56th NY State Volunteer Infantry is participating a weekend event at
Walnut Mountain Park Liberty NY    
Click above for directions
The event will be open for spectators on Saturday and Sunday at 10 AM.  

You will be able to view Union and Confederate encampments, see a mock battle,
shop at the sutlers, and learn about life during this volatile time in United States history.  
The unit that my family re-enacts with is a family unit.  This means that we modify history a bit by allowing families to camp with the troops.  While some families may have followed the troops; they would not have been able to stay on the same street (camp row) as the troops. However we can show you what might have been going on with the wives and children left behind by the war.

Here are the blog posts I did after last year's  Walnut Mountain Event
with pictures of the battle and civilian life.

Paddy - I would so like to attend one of these, I seem to always be a week late or a week early for them.

I wish you could get up to one Mike but it is a long trip.  We will be in PA in August at Eckley Miner's Village that's a little closer but still a long hall.

Paddy, this is so fascinating. I used to work at a museum so love history. Do you do the big one at Gettysburg?

Hi Janice.  My husband and son went there last summer.  The girls and I did not.  We have done several large ones including 1st Bull Run in VA which was awesome.

Cool! I like to see Civil War re-enactments. Many were really peeved when the Mayor of Franklin would not allow the Confederate battle flag to be used in the re-enactment. It is sad when we have to have political correctness in everything...
