Cannons to Conversations: BHCA’s Civil War Experience Brings History to Life in Bellefonte
On a late spring weekend, BHCA presents a complex event including exhibits, an encampment of Civil War reenactors, lectures, a book sale, reenactments of famous speeches and a recruitment rally, a concert of period music, and maybe a train excursion to Curtin Village. Although cannons, muskets, tents, and military uniforms are the crowd pleasers, BHCA uses this event to present serious considerations of the tensions which still divide our republic.
