June 27 at 9am-3pm: Jefferson Barracks Living History Day
Step back in time at the Missouri Civil War Museum for Jefferson Barracks Living History Day!
From 9am-3pm, we will be hosting living historians portraying American soldiers from the Civil War through the Second World War. Learn about the experiences of soldiers at Jefferson Barracks and on the front lines during those conflicts. Located outside behind the Museum, there will be weapons demonstrations, static displays, military vehicles, and a soldiers encampment.
This event is FREE for MCWM Members or with Museum admission. It will be fun for the whole family!
We hope to see you and any family or friends there! Reservations are not required, but if you have any questions, please give us a call at 314-845-1861.
