Travel Back in Time This Labor Day Weekend - Come to Monroe NY to See a Civil War Reenactment Event

<
There has been a lot of interest from my readers about the Civil War Re-enacting my family does.  Many of you saw the blogs I did on the weekend even at Walnut Mountain.  
Visit them Here and Here.  If you are looking for something to do Labor Day Weekend and you are in or near the Greater Hudson Valley of New York
I would love to invite you to a re-enactment to see an event for yourselves.  
Our unit the 56th NY State Volunteer Infantry is participating in a weekend event at
The Museum Village in Monroe NY
(Monroe NY is an easy ride from Northern NJ and NYC just past the Harriman Commons Outlets)
The event will be open for spectators on Saturday from 10 AM - 5 PM and
Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM.  
 Reduced rate tickets are available on line through August 28th So get them soon!

You will be able to view Union and Confederate encampments, see a mock battle, shop at the sutlers, see some farm animals, view a special quilt exhibit, and learn about life during this volatile time in United States history.   There will be special demonstrations all weekend long.
 
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.


I hope to see some of my readers there this weekend.  If you come just ask anyone in the Union Camp where the NY 56th is camped and stop by to say hello.  Have a great weekend whatever you do and hope it does not rain!!!

Morning Paddy,

Hope the Labor Day weekend event is well attended and DRY!! You folks have had enough wet weekends.

I have attend re-enactments and found them to be well worth the time spent.

Paddy, I need to find one of these re-enactments and attend it. They always seem to be in Virginia or the east coast. Our summers are usually too hot and no one wants to get out in August or September and die of the heat to watch these things. If you go, take pictures and let us know how it is.
