Strathearn Historical Park will transform itself into a small town in rural America in the 1860s for the 10th Annual Civil War Days Living History event on Saturday – April 2, 2022 from 10am-4pm and Sunday – April 3, 2022 10am-3pm. Step back to another place and time, when President Lincoln could take a break from his Washington duties to give a speech on the steps of our Strathearn House. Here, costumed civilians, as well as soldiers from the north and south stand ready in their camps, eager to tell their stories to the passing visitors.
