Offering a day of fun and American history, Central Michigan University's College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences partnered with CMU’s Museum of Culture and Natural History to teach children about the Civil War.
Children from kindergarten to the eighth grade got the chance to dress in Civil War uniforms, received training on how to use a musket and learned the basics of old-school military marching.
The event was held at the Gerald R. Poor Museum, located at the corner of Preston Street and West Campus Drive.
