SUMMARY:“Chicken in the Mail: Union Army Camp Life” program
DESCRIPTION:Visit Honey Springs Battlefield on Saturday\, May 13\, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. for the come-and-go\, Civil War-era program “Chicken in the Mail: Union Army Camp Life.” \nThe program will be led by David Reed\, Fort Towson Historic Site’s historical interpreter. Learn what camp life was like for Union soldiers during the four years of the American Civil War based on items that were exchanged through the mail. Reed will use reproduction items like writing paper\, newspapers\, and playing cards on hand to show visitors. He will also talk about the importance of care packages sent to soldiers from home and aid societies that were sent as a welcome addition to their rations. \nWhile at the site\, take a tour of our new visitor center and exhibits\, buy Civil War-related items from our gift shop\, and learn about our upcoming programs and events. The battlefield also will be open for visitors from 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. For more information about this program or upcoming programs\, call 918-617-7125 or email alynn@history.ok.gov. \nTo find Honey Springs Battlefield\, take the second left after the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame and Museum located in Rentiesville (driving from the west).
