Civil War Historical Impressions

History comes alive as you interact with living historians in their Civil War encampments in the side yard of the children’s history museum on select weekends including:

Allegheny Volunteer Guard, Nov. 17-19: A company-sized unit of infantrymen, the common soldier, camp life and experiences on campaign or in combat.

Outdoor encampments with living history are subject to favorable weather conditions.
