School Days
The Battle of Sacramento Reenactment Committee extends an invitation to educators and their students to participate in a Living History Educational Day Program scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2009. This educational and fun event begins at 9 am and ends around 2 pm.
Admission fee is $3/student and $5/adults. This also includes a souvenir button that will give you entrance to the entire weekend events! While Friday does not include an actual reenactment, students will be able to view the civilian camps and see how people lived during this era. Period crafts and demonstrations will be presented throughout the day as well as hear and learn about period dances and music will be provided by the 52nd Regimental String Band. There will also be demonstrations in the authentic camps, hospital units and typical camp life for a soldier. Period merchantiles will be open for shopping and browsing.
