______________________________________________________________


Learn about the different branches of Civil War Military including:


  • Infantry – The foot soldiers who were the backbone of both armies.
  • Cavalry – Learn the difference between mounted and dismounted units, their roles leading up to and during a battle and the special care that had to be given a battle horse.
  • Artillery – It took a unit of men to maintain and fire just one cannon. Learn the responsibilities of each position and experience the sound of a cannon firing.
  • Signal Corps – Long before cell phones or even telephones, how did the military communicate over long distances? Message bearers could take too long, get lost or even captured. Learn how the Signal Corps could send messages quickly using the language of flags.
  • Medical – Not long after a battle started, the Medical Corps would start the gruesome task of caring for the injured. Learn about triage, amputations and the medical discoveries and procedures that are still being used today.


______________________________________________________________


Help set up Civil War style company tents, get issued a soldier’s haversack and wooden rifle, learn to drill and move as a unit following an officer’s commands. End your weekend by participating in a mock tactical battle where decisions made on the field determine the victor!


Special program on Saturday night – Kent Courtney, a well-known Civil War musician, will present American History through Song. Learn the back stories of Americas most well known and loved traditional songs.


______________________________________________________________


Camping fees remain the same for this weekend - $12.50 per camper per night. The Immersion event is an additional $25 per scout (adults/chaperones only pay the camping fee).


Scouts keep the haversack and its contents as well as a custom event patch. Wooden rifles are available for $10 pre-purchase along with your immersion ticket. Those not purchasing a rifle will be issued a loaner wooden rifle to be returned at the end of the weekend. GBPA will provide Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast to all campers, including adults/chaperones.

Visit the Military camps and see how a soldier lived while moving from skirmish to skirmish.


Our Living History Village has all kinds of displays for your learning pleasure. Living Historians are happy to talk to you about everything from how families managed without their father or husband to early embalming methods.


See the Medical Museums in the Lady House and Barn to learn about battlefield medicine, surgery, and amputations. See the certified blood stains still on the floors and learn the stories they tell us.


Along with our large Speaker Tent, we now have two new demonstration areas which allow for more detailed learning experiences. The Honorable Steven Reed area allows for larger demonstrations like how to fire a cannon and what the sharpshooters of the time could do.


The Nancy Heller King demi area is focused on Domestic Studies. What did it take to run a household back then? What types of skills were a young lady expected to learn in order to manage her own home? Needlework, hearth cooking, child rearing, gardening and more will be presented next to the home Rebecca Lady took so much pride in.
