Being a soldier wasn't easy.
No matter if the soldier was Union or Confederate, life was challenging. Filth, hunger, and homesickness plagued men on both sides. With the help of a historically dressed interpreter, students will learn about the daily lives of Civil War soldiers. They will get to explore contents of haversacks and packs and learn what was similar and different about Northern and Southern soldiers. If the weather is cooperative, students will even get to become soldiers themselves!
