Stones River Camp of Instruction

May 3 - May 4, 2014

Visitors of all ages can watch as park staff and volunteers train to fire muskets and cannons then spend some time learning the drill for themselves.

Most of the nearly four million soldiers who fought in the Civil War had no prior military experience before joining their army. Visitors of all ages can watch as park staff and volunteers train to fire muskets and cannons and then spend some time learning the drill for themselves. Artillery and infantry drills run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
