AND a cannon will be fired from Fort Stevens at the conclusion of the program. We expect that will be the first time in about 150 years!
Throughout the day there will be living history (Union, USCT, Confederate, President Lincoln, Civil War surgeon, a Victorian cooking demonstration, Civil War era crafts for the kids, etc.).
Presentations from speakers in the speakers tent to include Frank Cooling, Hari Jones, Bernie Silas, and Denise Stevens from about 12:45 to 3 PM.
At 1 PM, there will be a ranger led walk to the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center to see the site and memorial marking the Sniper Tree used by Confederate riflemen during the battle. That walk will be limited in number, first come, first served.
