Living History School Day
Friday, May 13th, 2011

The Civil War Center of Texas, located at Beaumont Ranch, cordially invites you to experience American history in person at School Day, which will be held in conjunction with our 19th Century Living History Retreat Friday, May 13, 2011.
 
Civil War re-enactors and living history demonstrators will be on hand to educate you and your students as to how the nations dealt with the War Between the States and what life was really like in the early 1860s. Students will have the opportunity to see living historians not only describe, but also demonstrate how our ancestors lived. Domestic demonstrations may include spinning and weaving, cooking, laundress, sewing, soap making, and candle making. Military demonstrations include viewing a typical Confederate and Federal campsite and uniforms and firearms of the period. Also, each session will conclude with the firing of a Civil War cannon.

Beaumont Ranch is conveniently located in Grandview, just 30 minutes south of Fort Worth off I-35. The Bluebonnet Barn will be open to serve your students lunch, included in the price of attendance for School Day.
 
The School Day presentations will begin with a tour at 8:30 am with lunch at 11:00 a.m. Tours will begin every 45 minutes with the last tour beginning at 10:45 a.m. and ending at 1:00.pm. Space will be limited for each session/tour, and pre-registration, including payment, is necessary by May 1st 2011. Cost per student is $9.00. One supervisor per 10 students eats free.  Adults which are not a supervisor will be charged as a student ($9.00 ea).  If you would like to bring your own lunch for a picnic, the entry cost is reduced to $6.00 per person.
