Cumming Meeting Room

What was life like for a soldier in the Civil War? What was in a soldier's kit in that era? Come and see the perspective of a Union soldier and a soldier from Georgia as we explore the Civil War era in Hands-On History this month. We'll also listen to fiddle music and look through literature to learn more about people's lives during this time period.

Featuring Thomas Samples of the University of North Georgia's Living History Club.

Open to families. No registration required.
