Exciting Civil War events are happening all month long in Williamsburg, VA.
Civil War Children takes place Tuesdays through August 21. Guests can take a closer look at the personal effect the War Between the States had on children and families. Many children suffered from physical and mental wounds and lost one or both parents in the war. Carson Hudson, Melody Liberatore and Caitlyn Burke share stories and songs of despair and hope as they explore the lives of these children of war.
The Williamsburg Civil War Walking Tour is another exciting event that connects attendees with history.
