Description

Step back to early 1862 and experience the sights and sounds of the Confederate infantry as they alternate demonstrating Civil War infantry and artillery drill and the firing of both period rifle and cannon.

Encampment will be open for park visitors.  Please stop by the site near Tour Stop #5 (Smith's Attack area).
