Friday Living History for Students:

We need participants for Friday’s school skirmish. Ours is the largest living history event in the state, with 4,000 kids attending. Arrive prior to 0830 if you want to participate. We are always looking for specialized impressions, including medics, chaplains, fife and drums, civilians, undertakers, period wagons and mules. If your group is interested in making a special presentation, e-mail the School Day Coordinator.

Traffic and Parking:

All camps will be closed to automobiles on Friday between 0800 and 1530.  Camp setup will be allowed during these times, but cars, trucks, vans and trailers will not be allowed in the area.  (We are working on a solution to all of you that arrive during this time to shuttle your equipment to your camps.)  Vehicles will be allowed in camps after this time for 30 minutes to drop off gear.  To avoid congestion, please remove vehicles from camps as soon as you unload your gear.  The provost will enforce this requirement. 

All vehicles should be parked in the designated parking areas.  The Cavalry area has a portion of the field that is desginated for Handicap parking for Reenactors.  A portion of this area is also set asside for trucks with trailers for Artillery units.  No other vehicles should be parked in this area.  Regular reenactor parking is in the lower lot near the power line.  Vehicles parked and unattended in unauthorized areas will be towed at the owner’s expense.  Parking passes must be completely filled our with a good phone number and displayed on the dash of the vehicle.  This helps us in case of emergency or a need to have your vehicle moved.
