Hubby and I were in Old Town Manassas checking out the 150 year Civil War Commemoration events. The temperature was well over 100 degrees.
Our first stop was the Harris Pavilion where the Blue and Gray Ball was taken place. Plenty of folks were dressed in period costumes:
A trio was playing historical folk music:
 |
| The Camptown Shakers |
 |
| I enjoyed watching them play. |
 |
| Inside the Pavilion |
 |
| More of the Camptown Shakers |
 |
| We walked along Center Street and I found these two young ladies willing to pose for me |
We headed down to the Manassas Museum and came across this camp site:
 |
| Horses being tended to |
 |
| Looks like Gatorade and Pepsi to me |
It was a sweltering evening here in Manassas. I don't think I could last the evening sleeping in one of the tents. When you think about it, back in the Civil War era folks didn't have Gatorade or the vehicles that brought them to here to Manassas. Something to think about....
