The 42nd Indiana
Infantry Civil War re-enactors will be in full attire again this year
on the lawn of the History Center for demonstrations and presentations

camp cooking, and medical treatment along with real musket drills.
Four additional presentations
will take place on Saturday inside the History Center, including a
first-person activity for children and parents at 10:00 a.m. by Dean
Dorrell: “A Visit with Abraham Lincoln.” Re-enactors will be on-site
on through Saturday night and into Sunday morning. The encampment
