Event Navigation
On Saturday, May 16, the 24th Missouri Volunteer Infantry reenacting unit will be at the Fort Towson Historic Site. Members of the 24th Missouri will be participating in a muster at the post. They will be taking part in activities, such as drills, that help them with their own portrayal of history.
The public is invited to come and watch as the unit goes about its muster. When unit members are not busy with their own duties, visitors may ask questions. From 10 a.m. until about noon, visitors can watch the unit drill. At 1 p.m., the 24th Missouri will host a public program on 1860s military discipline. Visitors may also get a chance to see some period military cooking.
This event will be free to the public, including entry into the site’s museum. So, make sure to come out, watch, and learn about the 24th Missouri Volunteer Infantry’s military history.
