When

Once the smoke cleared from the battlefield, 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. This event will held within Civil War era fortifications and will also include a talk on battles which occurred within High Bridge State Park. We hope to see you out on the trail!
