The City of New Bedford presents:
CIVIL WAR WEEKEND

The 2nd annual celebration of living history was another success. Over the 3 days in August 2004 a record crowd was both educated and entertained by such period activities as :

  • Cannon fire and artillery drills
  • Southern garrisoning at Fort Rodman
  • Federal landings and assaults on southern-held Fort Rodman
  • Medical demonstrations and era civilian participation
  • US black troops and their contribution to the war effort
  • Settlers' Markets and historical displays
  • Tours of historic Fort Taber
  • Opening of the new Fort Taber Military Museum.
     
    See some pictures of the events here.
     
    Thank You for making Civil War Weekend 2004 a success !!

    We hope to see you next year for Civil War Weekend 2005 !
