44th Annual Museum Village Civil War Weekend
Civil War Weekend at Museum Village is one of the premier events of the year. The living historians
are men, women and children who don authentic dress, adopt a Victorian view of society
and war, and take great pride in their representation and portrayal of historic regiments and
organizations. These individuals are eager to interpret this very important chapter in our Nation’s
past. During the weekend visitors witnessed re-enactments of standard Civil War tactics and troop
movements as the two armies meet in battle. Visitors strolled through the camps, meet and talk with
the troops and civilians, and shop at Sutler’s Row. Our 69th Captain, Scott Eller, was asked to
command the Federal forces as a contingent of 69th men and ladies drove to New York for the event.
