Join the Rally!
Although it has been over 150 years since our country has fought in the Civil War, the diaries, stories, and lessons still remain.
During a Union Soldier Remembers, the pages of local Civil War veterans journals and letters will come to life as reenactors portray these stories and traditions. Along the way, you'll meet local residents, experience immersive presentations, and even participate in military drills.
