Civil War Living History Event

July 18th from 9- 3 pm at Dean Park.

Come to Dean Park on July 18th to see what life was like in 1865 inside a Civil War camp portrayed by re-enactors from the 13th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Company F. Musket firing will take place during the mid-day hours.

This will be a great way for residents to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the ending of the Civil War and the 100th Anniversary of Dean Park in which Civil War Veterans attended the dedication of the park.

The Civil War Camp will be set up in the upper baseball/softball fields and near the picnic grove from 9-3 pm.
