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.
