About this Event

Mornings at the Museum are BACK this Spring Break!
Step into the everyday lives of Civil War soldiers and discover how they stayed entertained between battles!

When soldiers weren’t fighting, they relied on creativity, camaraderie, and classic games to pass the time — many of which we still play today. Join us to make your own knapsack checkerboard and experience games from the Civil War.
