Event Details
The Westmoreland Historical Society will host a Civil War encampment and battle reenactments at Historic Hanna’s Town on July 29 – July 30. 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 topics including Civil War medicine and surgery; a first-person presentation of President Lincoln; a reenactment of battle tactics; and demonstrations of various artillery. The public is encouraged to ask questions and talk to over 200 reenactors who will be camped around the site. Following a break for dinner, the public is invited to hear a concert of Civil War period music by the 46th Pennsylvania Regiment Band at 6:00 PM.
