The Museum of 20th Century Warfare and Ft. Harrison State Park will be hosting “Soldiers Thru Time” at the park . Visitors will see camps and displays set-up by re-enactors from many different time periods. Living historians spanning 2500 years of military history will be wearing clothing and uniforms from their chosen time period or conflict and have equipment and weapons to show and describe. Presently we have impressions of Greek Hoplite, Roman Legionary, Mongol Light Calvary, Revolutionary War, American Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War One, World War Two, the Cold War period and the Vietnam War taking part.
The event will be open from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday and Sunday, April 30-May 1.
