Dear Hale Farm & Village Civil War Weekend Participants,
On behalf of Hale Farm & Village and the Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS), we would like to extend to you our appreciation and congratulations on a successful Civil War Reenactment on August 8th and 9th 2009. Hale Farm & Village partnered with National City, now a part of PNC, to present the 17th annual Civil War Reenactment at Hale Farm & Village. Nearly 3,000 people came to Hale Farm & Village for this weekend event, including 400 re-enactors!
In our opinion, the high point of both days came with the moment of silence and playing of Taps in the field following the battles. As public historians, there is no greater satisfaction than observing the impact of living history moments such as these on our audiences. The re-enactment community succeeded at Hale Farm that weekend in its mission to keep the history of the Civil War - arguably the seminal event in American history - alive in the hearts and minds of our visitors. Huzzah!
Hale Farm & Village and the WRHS enjoys presenting this annual summer event and we realize that your dedication and passion for the presentation of Civil War history only makes this an even more memorable weekend for our visitors and staff alike.
We look forward to having you back next year so mark your calendars for August 14th and 15th 2010.
Sincerely,
Kelly Falcone-Hall & Becky Carlino
Vice President, Hale Farm Director of Community Engagement
