Once the smoke cleared, Johnny Reb and Billy Yank would often collapse from exhaustion and set up camp for the night.  What did a military camp look like?  Was it dangerous to be in camp?  Come out for an interactive experience with our rangers as we walk you through the lives of the soldiers from both North and South.
