Okay, sorry, we missed it, but maybe next year. Liz and I are big Route 66 enthusiasts and this is right on the Mother Road in the really short part of it that passes through Kansas (just 13 miles).
The Baxter Springs Heritage Center & Museum, 740 East Avenue, will host a Civil War encampment on the grounds of the Fort Blair Historic Site on October 2-3.
On Saturday, there will be morning and afternoon military parades, demonstrations of camp life from that era, several federal and Confederate drills and food trucks. Inside the museum, there will be speakers, special displays and docudramas.
Live bands will play music and dancing from that time.
Battle engagements are scheduled at 10 am and 2 pm Saturday and at 1 pm on Sunday.
Period-style dress is encouraged, but not required.
Maybe Next Year. --Old Secesh
