Living History~

Last Friday Olivia & I joined

some school and home school groups

for a 'tour' of living history

through the civil war.

It was a great learning time~

Here's a few snapshots

This first area was all about the 'dress'
of the era.  Fascinating how many
layers...the women wore~

The corsets were pulled tight~

And petticoats were added~

She's ready~

The medical tent gave
information on the battlefield wounds~

Some pretty descriptive language
but still fascinating how they treated
injuries with what they had available~

In this area it was all about the
Union & Confederate uniforms~
And, firing off those muskets.

We also learned all about the beautiful
calvary horses and the ladies that rode them.
A favorite for Olivia, of course~
