Civil War Invades Morristown

Step onto the battlefields of the American Civil War, and into the lives of those involved at the Civil War Weekend. The re-enactors lead activities throughout the eight-acre site, presenting the daily lives of soldiers, such as authentic cooking, dress, and general setup. Enjoy the musket drills, artillery drills, daily mail call, bayonet drills, and a staged skirmish. Marching drills include period instruments as soldiers proudly go into battle. Cover your ears as the massive period cannon takes aim and fires! Enjoy learning about the basics of battlefield medicine for soldiers who suffered injuries or disease. Visit the medical area where re-enactors care for the ‘wounded.’
