Our Fall living history event is back! Join us at the museum for a day of interactive fun - Living Historians in uniform out on the Center Green will greet you with impressions of soldiers, sailors, and civilians that lived during the Civil War. See a full-size replica of a Civil War cannon, and a 6-foot model of the ironclad U.S.S. Monitor with its creator to answer questions. 

Come inside for tours of the Museum, and follow the timeline of a soldier's experience from their enlistment as Citizen Soldiers to their meetings as Grand Army of the Republic veterans in the museum's historic Great Hall. Try on uniforms and take photos - Bid in our silent auctions - take part in Civil War drills as a new volunteer!

On October 1st, the New England Civil War Museum will host a Living History Open House Day on the green outside the museum. Musket and cannon demonstrations, marching and drilling, and other interactive components are planned.
