Civil War Encampment 2008
The year 2008 was Stevens Point's 150th Anniversary as a city. As part of the Society's celebration of this event the annual Civil War Encampment was held at Pfiffner Park along the Wisconsin River in Stevens Point.
This year we featured a recruitment on the square. This was the actual location of many recruitment campaigns held during the Civil War.
- Recruitment -- A detachment marches to the Square; a Salute is fired; rousing enlistment speech is given; people enlist; march back to camp; and begin training for "army life".
- Camp -- Views of camp life; cooking; training.
- Fire!! -- Cannon fire and musket fire.
