McDaniel Farm to recreate life in 1860s
1112-GO-EHC-Holiday-on-Homefront
Costumed re-enactors will bring the 1860s to life during the annual Holiday on the Home Front at McDaniel Farm. This year’s event will be Saturday, Nov. 14.
Christmas in the 1860s on the front lines for Union and Confederate soldiers or on the home front was an indescribable experience. However, the Environmental and Heritage Center plans to give visits to the McDaniel Farm a glimpse of that time in history during its annual Holiday on the Home Front. The program will take guests back in time to 1862 at McDaniel Farm as Daniel and A.W. McDaniel are on furlough to spend Christmas with the family.
