Middleton Place will present the 3rd annual Living History Days all day on the weekend of April 5-6. Hear the rifles and drums and smell the gun powder at the two-day event commemorating the 230th anniversary of General Nathanael Greene's encampment of the southern army at Middleton Place during the Revolutionary War.
Costumed historians will portray General Greene’s army as it was encamped here in 1782. Programs and interactive demonstrations focusing on Continental Army tactics and camp life, British prisoners of war and military field medicine will take place all weekend. Living History interpreters will also demonstrate period crafts such as spinning, indigo dyeing, candle and soap making, open hearth cooking, carpentry and coopering, blacksmithing, pottery, stone carving and lace making. Children will be able to test their skill with toys and games of the period as well as writing with a quill.
