Civil War Reenactment

Today at Rural Hill, reenactors of the 38th North Carolina Infantry of 1862 set up historic encampments and held drill exercises for the public.





We got to watch blacksmithing . . .


. . . weaving . . .




. . . and open hearth cooking.


John was most animated about finding this friendly barn cat taking a sun bath.




These interesting cattle had long coats.




As Mary surveyed the cattle gate, she said, "I think I'll try climbing!" So long as everything is right and normal in the world!

  1. Anna: Thanks! John calls it his "cowboy hat" even though it's more precisely a sheriff's hat.
