You may Experience Civil War Camp life, a weapons display, baking on an open fire, candle dipping as well as medical display & civil war re-enactment. Your experience of the Civil War era will be heightened as you listen to music by a Civil War Band. In the evening you may stroll through the camp site as tales of the civil war are conveyed by the actors portraying civil war soldiers.

Charles H. Harrison a Local Writer and Historian will be at The Front Porch Antiques to sign his “No Longer Warriors” book based on his Great-Grandfathers experience at Gettysburg. The book, inspired by the personal account of a Union soldier wounded at Gettysburg, was produced as a play and performed on stage by a professional theater company. It is the story of wounded soldiers who experiences terror and miracles in a house on the battlefield as the fighting rages around them.

For the little ones there will be Face Painting, Pumpkin Decorating and of course the Merchants will have special displays and treats in their antique, collectible and specialty shops. Crafters, food and live music will add to the festivities. Pumpkins, corn stalks and chrysanthemums will adorn the mile long North and South Main Street.
