Ever wondered what life was like in your great-grandfather’s time? Here's a chance to find out!

Join us as uniformed re-enactors from the 5th and 7th NC Infantry Regiments set up a full period camp at New Bern Battlefield Park. Both Union and Confederate soldiers will be in camp to share a "day in the life." Demonstrations and displays include a Civil War surgeon’s display, weapons display with over sixty original Civil War era weapons, and culminating with an exciting artillery firing.
