On Saturday, April 11, at 10:30 a.m., the 1st Arkansas Mountain Artillery will demonstrate the use of Civil War artillery in a free public program.

The group will portray Captain Roswell W. Lee’s Battery, which formed part of the Confederate artillery line at the Battle of Honey Springs. This program will consist of approximately two shots from a Mountain Howitzer—an artillery piece seen on both sides of the conflict at Honey Springs—and a program featuring Jim Spillars, a living historian from Fayetteville, Arkansas, and director of the 1st Arkansas Mountain Artillery. We highly recommend that visitors (especially those sensitive to loud noise) bring their own hearing protection to this program.
