Historical Moments on the Homefront

Local historians with Danza Antiqua present a series of historical art activities enjoyed by children and adults during the Civil War era. Each day, the artists will select a different art form and provide demonstrations and hands-on activities. Hand made dolls and hand quilting of the Civil War will be on display.

Interact with the artists. Try the craft and learn the history of each art activity and its traditional methods. Take information with you to continue the featured art forms at home.
