SC Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum's 4th Annual Living History
Day

The South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum is hosting
its 4th Annual Living History Day, conducted by the Palmetto Living
History Association, on Saturday, March 24, 2007.  The Living History
Day campsite will be at the Columbia Mills Building, 301 Gervais Street,
and is open to the public from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM. 

Uniformed participants will interpret the South Carolina Civil War
soldier in the Hampton Legion, which included three branches of military
service (infantry, artillery, and cavalry) under a single commander.
Living historians will provide a thorough view of military culture of
the time by conducting detailed tours of the campsite and demonstrations
of uniform and equipage, drill, and infantry firing.  Other exciting
events include the firing of the Civil War-era Chester cannon,
interpreted by an artillery crew, and cavalry demonstrations with
participants on horseback. In addition, there will be a display and
interpretation of the Southern home front.  

There is no charge to attend the event.  The museum, located in the
Columbia Mills Building, will be open on Saturday from 10:00 AM - 5:00
PM. Admission is $4 ages 21 and over. A joint ticket with the SC State
Museum is available for $6 ages 21 and over.  

Founded in 1896, the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military
Museum is the oldest museum in the Columbia area and is an agency of the
South Carolina Budget and Control Board, accredited by the American
Association of Museums. For more information please contact the museum
