During the weekend they will portray soldier life at Cold Harbor focusing on the infantry tactics in 1864 and the trench warfare that made Cold Harbor one of the South's greatest victories and the North's biggest regrets. The members have researched Civil War period musical arrangements and play them on instruments authentic to the time. They have been performing together since 1987. During these tours volunteers portraying Union and Confederate soldiers will give the visitor a unique opportunity to see Cold Harbor through the eyes of the soldiers and hear their stories of misery, fear, and courage. For the tour please bring a flashlight, an active imagination, and be prepared for any surprises.
All events are free.
Cold Harbor is located seven miles east of Mechanicsville on State Route 156.
