Junior Historians’ Camp

This year the Junior Historian Camp was centered around the Civil War.  Junior Historians began by filling out enlistment papers and were official Civil War soldiers. Next they designed their company’s flag. They also enjoyed a sample of the type of rations that the soldiers would have had to eat. During the two days they learned about the underground railroad, performed a rife volley with poppers, and even played a game that was popular during the Civil War Era called “Drop the Hankie”. During the afternoon of the second day, they were visited by a Confederate soldier!  Mr. Fadley informed the campers about the different pieces of equipment and clothing that he wore or carried and even fired a couple of rounds from his musket rife. The Junior Historians had a great time while learning a little about history.

Dinner with Abraham and Mary Lincoln

Attendees enjoyed a good meal and an informative evening with “Abraham and Mary Lincoln.”  Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Jenot portrayed the Lincolns and gave a presentation on the lives of the Lincolns.
