The recently completed Ohio Statehouse hosted Civil War soldiers on their way to battle. Learn what camp life was like during the Civil War. Walk among soldiers’ tents, see how to fire the cannon every hour and help the Ladies Aid Society deliver comfort to the troops. Historical re-enactors from 1st Ohio Light Artillery, Battery A and other groups will demonstrate Civil War life, cooking and medical practices. School tours are the focus on Friday and the public is welcome both days. Fun for the whole family!
This program is supported by the 1st Ohio Light Artillery, Battery A
