The Westmoreland Historical Society will host a Civil War encampment, battle reenactments and concert at Historic Hanna’s Town on July 19 – July 20. Though battles did not take place at Hanna’s Town during the Civil War, western Pennsylvania provided soldiers, leadership, equipment, supplies, transportation systems, and civilian support necessary for Union victory.

Displays and presentations around the historic site will cover a variety of topics.  There will be a reenactment of battle tactics and demonstrations of various artillery. The concert will be performed by the 46th Pennsylvania Regiment Band (Logan Guards) who has brought to life the music of the Civil War since 1995. Come hear period music performed on 19th century instruments and learn about the history of regimental bands in the Civil War.

This year’s camp will focus on textile production like spinning, weaving, and sewing. Kids will learn about 18th century fashion and have a chance to try on some colonial era garb! We will explore the natural world and how early settlers made their own fabrics and clothing from the environment around them. Other colonial era and 18th century themed activities will be offered, allowing kids to discover the unique role that Westmoreland County and Historic Hanna’s Town played over the course of the American Revolution.

There are limited spots available. Advance registration required by calling 724-836-1800 x210.

Additional details provided in the Camp Policies and Procedures.
