Marty Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 For those of you who live in the North Carolina/Virginia areas, there is a Civil War re-enactment this weekend, October 4-5, 2008. My family went last year, and the kids are excited to go again. There are many activities, tents to go in and things to buy in the tents. Civil War Battles (my kids loved this) My hubby said there was one in the day and one at night. (time___?) Buggy Rides Tea Parties "1800" Fashion Shows Church Service Sunday @ 9:AM Living History - hands on events Candle Light Tour- Saturday Night Only! Meet the Generals of the Civil War - Lee, Stuart & Jackson for pictures and talks Sculptors, Authors & Speakers Black Rose Memorial Service - Saturday/Sunday String Music & Bagpipers Civil War Sutlers Hundreds of Re-enactors Saturday Night Ball Food Vendors and Much More!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's the link: http://jebstuart.org/events.cfm?ID=71 There is a map, if you click on Visiting Hours on the right, and there is a cost -- I think $8 or $10, but kids under 12 are free. There is a phone number for more information. I couldn't find anything about when the events started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I see people have looked, but not posted. (well, what would they say anyway? This is just informational!) So, BUMP, for others who might like to see this post. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think this looks awesome, and is only 3 hours away from us. Unfortunately, we are going through a very tight financial situation right now. It almost makes me sad I saw it, because we just completed our study of the Civil War, and it would be perfect. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I looked but it is 4 1/2 hours from us. Considering we live in the heart of Dixie.....too far of a drive for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Oh, VaKim, I'm so sorry. Yeah, that sounds like it would be perfect for you. My dd's and their cousin are into writing mysteries, and have done a couple. They want to do one based on Civil War history, so they are excited about this. Momof7, I'm sorry for you, too. wow, 7 kids. Awesome Mom! (my SIL has 6) :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirlinwv Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for posting. I'm going to show this to my dh. He loves the Civil War! Dd and I are studying Am. Revolution right now, but hope to get to the Civil War by the end of the school year. We are in Roanoke so it's not too far. Maybe we'll see you there!

Marty Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 It's tomorrow! Woo-hoo! :driving: I went and bought all our picnic stuff last night. The kids are excited. They get to spend the day with their cousins. :party: And my dd's and their cousin are into writing mysteries. The latest is based on Civil War history. :hurray: They are reading books and looking stuff up online. I took dd13 and her cousin to the library yesterday and cousin (I can't say 'dc'. hmmmmm fc? - female cousin; gc?) got Civil War books for her essay. My dd had to choose something diff, as it was the assignment. She will get to the Civil War in unit 6. Can't wait for tomorrow! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 :sad: Oh no! Dd13 is not feeling well. She, of all my kids, really wanted to go tomorrow. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated. I know she will try to go if at all possible. I just hope when we get there, she will be able to have a good time. Maybe she'll be okay...
