135th USCT Re-Enactment in Goldsboro, N,C, This Weekend-- Part 2


The weekend is called "135th USCT Living History Weekend:  The Last Troop" and will be April 6-8 in downtown Goldsboro on Center Street.  There will be a pop up museum, exhibits on the war, re-enactors and encampments by the 135th, 35th and 37th USCTs.  The 37th USCT was at Fort Fisher.

There will also be an artillery battery from Fort Fisher which will hold cannon-firing demonstrations.  Also on hand will be photographers taking tintypes.  A medical tent will show how Civil War amputations and wounds were cared for.

A representative of the African-American Civil War Museum and Foundation in Washington, D.C. on hand to enroll family members into the Sons and Daughters of the USCT.

I'd sure like to be there.
