Journey back in time to America in the 1860s as our
nation is engaged in a massive civil war affecting
lives across thousands of miles, from New Mexico to
Tennessee and Vermont to Florida. Before it’s over in
April 1865, more than 3 million will have fought, and
more than 750,000 will have died — the equivalent of
7.5 million dead today.
This year marks the sesquicentennial of 1863, the
midpoint of the American Civil War and a pivotal year
that witnessed implementation of the Emancipation
Proclamation, great Union victories at Vicksburg
and Gettysburg, and the beginning of the end of the
Confederate States of America.
During this Memorial Day weekend, we invite you to
become a part of living history as you travel through
a microcosm of the Civil War. Union and Confederate
reenactors, civilians, musicians and historic presenters
— all in period attire — are eager to immerse you in this
important American era. We hope you will be inspired
by the array of exhibits, presentations, research
opportunities, hands-on activities and insights from
historians as you participate in the ultimate tribute to
those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Henry Ford will participate in a national moment
of silence on Monday at 3 p.m. as signaled by the
Armington & Sims shop whistle.
