Our Civil War Weekend is July 25th and 26th. We have the following planned: Knitting and sewing, sending messages by wire, surgery in Dr. Trafton's House. Visitors will partake in a triage of battle injuries, cooking outside ( Daniel will demonstrate his squirrel cooker, albeit with a whole chicken), drilling and marching with the Third of Maine, Fire building (yes, with a piece of flint (actually chert). Preparing firewood (two man saw and axe), horse riding ( carousel), change a wagon wheel, block and tackle, "Medicine, Health and Nutrition in the Civil War", Minet Ball Making, Blacksmithing al fresco, shaving horse and draw knife, dance in the ball room, high tea on the Durgin House porch and a bivouac. Don't forget that the Maine Antique Power Association will be presenting also! Oh and Dr. Peter Stickney will play Southern tunes on the reed organ.
