The American Civil War Museum, in conjunction with American Stories: Historic Walking Tours & Programs, will offer interactive summer programming for visitors, starting Memorial Day Weekend.
The program, “Enlist Now!,” will give ‘new recruits’ a first-hand look at what life was like for the common Union soldier. Recruits will be able to taste the food, learn how to march, learn drills and be able to experience what it was like to enlist in the Union army.
“Enlist Now!” will be offered on six different Saturday evenings throughout the summer months – June 26, July 3, 17 and 31, and August 7. The program will begin at 7 p.m. There will be a Memorial Day weekend program on Saturday, May 29 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The cost to participate in the one-hour program is $15. All recruits will receive a kepi hat that they can take home with them. All ages are welcomed to enlist and participate. Group size for the program is a maximum of 35 people. Additional programs can be added to accommodate larger groups. This is an outdoor program; recruits are encouraged to dress appropriately.
