Children will be transported back to 1861 as they are drafted into the ranks of a fighting battalion and live the life of a Civil War soldier at Camp Lasdon. This promises to be a unique and truly immersive experience that will give children a first-hand understanding of what life as a soldier was like during the Civil War, while gaining a unique perspective into our nation’s history. Hosted by Battery B of Rhode Island
