Second Saturday, NC-Style: Homefront and Impressment-- Part 1

From the June 12th Beach Carolina Magazine :2nd Saturdays Events Across North Carolina June 14th" by Michael "Beach Mick" Hudson.

Every summer, the state historic sites and museums across the state offer family activities and fun across the state.

CSS NEUSE, KINSTON:  "The Homefront During the Civil War.  Learn about shortages and substitutes, homeguards, soldier relief societies and manufacture of clothing and goods during the Civil  War.

Demonstrations will include spinning, weaving and sewing.  There will be displays of care packages, impressment records and artifacts.  (Not sure what impressment records are.  Perhaps draft?  I know impressment during the War of 1812 was when the British Navy took Americabs off commerecial ships and made them British sailors.)
