[Quarryville, Pennsylvania, July 2019] The Civil War Living History and Tactical Exercises Event at the Robert Fulton Birthplace Museum and Gardens, six and a half miles south of Quarryville, continues to expand. This year’s event has just ended. In spite of some powerful thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday afternoons, over 1,500 visitors ventured out over the course of the weekend. Event participants helped each other stabilize tents and flies and reset that which blew down. This year brought an additional camp area featuring the Christian Commission, the Black Confederate, Billy Meehan with his hats, and sheep and wool from Fair Winds Farm. A period tintype photographer set up on the upper lawn along with the Patriot Daughters of Lancaster, Wheat’s Tigers Zuave, CSA and US Colored Troops, added to the military camp. This year also adds Atomic Hog Barbeque as food service over the weekend, with a savory menu of pork and brisket.
