STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. -- This weekend, Sept. 13 and 14, teach President Lincoln how to take a “selfie” at the 7th Annual "Yankees in Falmouth! And Some Confederates Too!"
This family-friendly and free event in Stafford County interprets the Union Army’s occupation of the Rappahannock River community of Falmouth during the Civil War. The event will be held on the grounds of the Moncure Conway House, an Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Historical Site, and the Historic Port of Falmouth Park.
Bring your family out to the event and engage them in history while they capture pictures of a variety of reenactors, including Union and Confederate soldiers, President Lincoln, the 14th Brooklyn, also known as “The Red Legged Devils”, 23rd USCT African-American regiments, 8th Virginia Infantry, 13th Virginia Infantry, 47th Infantry, Edenton Bell Battery/Artillery, and 3rd U.S. Regulars. Some of the military reenacting units will portray the historical counterparts that were encamped and quartered in Falmouth during the Civil War. Event activities will include daytime and nighttime artillery firing demonstrations, period music by Evergreen Shade, special lectures, strict military impressions, period telegraph display, encampments, civilian living history interpretation, and other special activities.
