Soldiers Thru Time- May 4 & 5 timeline event
This is our our yearly timeline event where we feature various eras of military in different areas of Historic Camp Glenn area in Fort Harrison State Park where our museum is located. We would like a diverse example of military impressions to give our visitors exposure to soldiers from all periods of time. We will have camps or locations for 1400/1500's, 1700's, Napoleonic, American Civil War, Span-Am, The Great War, WW2, Korea, Cold War (1950-1992), and Vietnam as well as Desert Storm.
We will provide camping area, a nearby water source, indoor latrines and a Saturday evening meal. We will have a building (701) for those not camping (heated building, bare floor, bathrooms and kitchenette). In case of rain, you can move into buildings 701 & 702 and set up displays. Check-in opens at noon Friday, May 3 and will continue Saturday morning in the museum library. Please check in before setting up camp so we can get you in the appropriate location.
Operation hours are Saturday 1000 to 1600 and Sunday 1000 to 1500. No weapons fire before 10 AM or after 4 PM. (Blank fire only and coordinate with museum staff beforehand). If you don’t have an impression we are needing volunteers to fill out the timeline and have clothing & weapons to suit up a Greek Hoplite, Roman Legionnaire and others. We're needing a WWI trench escort(to guide our visitors to the trench area).
Note: No livestock (chickens, rabbits, pigs etc.) except horses should be brought in the park.
Dogs should be on 6' leashes.
An email with any updated information will be sent out a few days before the event.
