When are the Civil War Living History days?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/26/09
Over many years my family have loved spending a weekend day at Grant's Farm. My boys have grown up to love riding the trams and seeing all the aminals in the open areas, visiting and petting the other amimals, and watching the shows.
However, my family is wondering what happened to the Civil War Living History days at Grants Farm? For the past several years, my sons and I have visited the farm over the Mother's Day weekend and completely enjoyed the Civil War Camp, seeing and talking with General Grant, looking into the Ladies Tent, and watching the Blacksmith work and touring the Grant's home, Hardscrabble. We went this year and there was not such program--this was a large disappoitment to my children. Grant's Farm is such a wonderful family place, please bring back this important part of history (Civil War Days) for St. Louis.
