Loading and firing demonstrations will be conducted each day.  Museum visitors will see the flash, smell the smoke and hear the roar of Civil War cannons. 

This educational program for the entire family is designed to bring history to life.  These living historians will explain how the guns were used in action and their impact on the battlefield.   The volunteer artillerymen will also explain the technology of artillery and the safety practices required in the 1860's.  This program is weather contingent.
