The Civil War Comes To Monroe NY Sept 5th & 6th 2009

If you live in the Hudson Valley area or are visiting here this Labor Day Weekend and love history you should come by Museum Village in Monroe NY , (1010 Route 17M, Monroe, NY) for the Civil War Weekend which will be open to the public from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday, and 10:00 AM -4:00 PM on Sunday. This event has Union and Confederate troop encampments, reenactments of military battles both days, Civil War Era Sutlers (merchants selling quilts, antiques, reproduction clothing and accessories, and other Civil War related items), and many special presentations. The weatherman is predicting a wonderful weekend so come on out.

Here are some pictures from last year's event:

As many of my readers know my family and I are Civil War Reenactors and we will be there this weekend enjoying our time in the 1860s. If you come by please look for us in the NYSV 56th Union encampment.
