Civil War re-enactors from the 9th Virginia Cavalry Company B and McGregor’s Battery will join members of the Moose Family Center to bring residents a living history event from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 19.

It will take place at the Moose Family Center, 309 Lake Marian Road in Carpentersville and in the grassy area at the corner of Lake Marian Road and Besinger Drive.

Re-enactors will speak about the importance of sharing the history of the War between the States. See cavalry members ride in drill formation as preparing for battle. Learn the steps of firing a Civil War canon. Residents can even pull the firing cord for a donation.

Moose members will give information regarding the mission of Moose International and benefits of being a member.

Hamburgers and hot dogs will be available for purchase on the deck of the Moose Family Center. Children under 12 years of age accompanied by an adult will receive one free hot dog and pop.
