February 10, 2014 This Saturday, February 15 from 9:30 AM - 4 PM, Historic Rural Hill will host the 38th North Carolina Troops and others for the 4th Annual Civil War Winter Encampment. See what winter life was like for local soldiers during the Civil War at this FREE day of fun and informative history. Watch as the "38th Boys” demonstrate line and skirmish drills, discuss the history of flags, uniforms, rations, mail services, pay rates, new inventions and much more! Rural Hill's own brigade of historical docents will also be on hand demonstrating what life was like at home for those not enlisted in the war. Blacksmithing, woodworking, cooking, and spinning demonstrations continue throughout the day. Visitors may also tour the farm and take a scenic hike on the 2.25 mile trail.
