Historic Charlton Park is offering the sights and sounds of "the war between the states" at its Civil War Muster on July 15-16.

Special scenarios by interpreters and craftsmen will be presented at the Sixberry House, Barber Shop, Carpenter Shop, Jail and Bristol Inn. Take the lantern tour of the village on Saturday night; enjoy live music and dancing at the Gas & Steam barn and view cannons firing over the Thornapple River.

 

Battles are fought at High Meadow at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday and in the village on 2 p.m. on Sunday. Infantry, cavalry, medical and artillery demonstrations are featured.

Sutler’s Row vendors offer reproduction and handmade civil war-era merchandise, clothing, household goods, and toys. 

 

Admission is $6 for those 13 and up, $4 for children 5 to 12, and children four and under are free. For an event schedule and much more, visit www.charltonpark.org or visit the park’s Facebook page.
