In 1873, a group of Union and Confederate veterans and their families met for religious services in Greenback, Tennessee. The next year, using lumber donated by local farmers, an open-air tabernacle shed was constructed with religious services held there EVERY year since. The National Campground Association, the Greenback Historical Society and the Knoxville Civil War Round Table are honored to produce this living history weekend at the National (Union) Campground, a nationally and state-recognized historic site which is part of the Tennessee Civil War Trail.
The general public are invited. For additional general information or to register as a sutler, musician, re-enactor or other historic participant, contact the KCWRT at [email protected] or the GHS at [email protected].

Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn.’
