A Birney's Division event, this is a great way to end the reenacting season at a location built specifically for Civil War reenactors.
Located in southwest Pennsylvania, features include five period buildings including headquarters, barracks for the troops, and quartermaster's store. The full-scale trenches and breast works, along with motion picture level pyrotechnics, help complete the Cold Harbor scenario.

First Call: East Harbor
This weekend will be the 2d Battalion event in Marblehead, Ohio at the 7th Annual East Harbor Civil War Weekend.
Last year we had a great time and there are even more goodies in store this weekend. The event is going to feature the CSS Hunley traveling exposition (which includes a full scale replica of the Confederate submarine), and a Saturday night concert by legendary Civil War musician Bobby Horton.
This year we will also feature a field tactical allowing junior officers to conduct operations against a large force.
At this time, I would like to get a head count of units and number of personnel attending (this includes those units in other organizations that will be participating with the Battalion). Please forward the following information as soon as possible:
1. Is your unit attending the event?
2. How many military personnel will be attending
3. Will there be an officer and/or NCO in charge
Please send this information to: clsmith@5thohio.com
