Civil War encampment

Have you ever wondered how those who fought in the Civil War lived, drilled and camped? You can find out this weekend at the White Oak Museum in Falmouth.

Reenactors will be on hand for artillery and medical demonstrations, and they’ll also show you what soldiers did in their spare time.

The encampment will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The museum also displays artifacts found at nearby Civil War campsites.

Admission to the museum is $4 for adults, $2 for seniors and those ages 13 – 17, $1 ages 7-12 and free for children under 7-years-old.
