Journey back in time to America in the 1860s as our

nation is engaged in a massive civil war affecting

lives across thousands of miles, from New Mexico to

Tennessee and Vermont to Florida. Before it’s over in

April 1865, more than 3 million will have fought, and

more than 750,000 will have died — the equivalent of

7.5 million dead today.

This year marks the sesquicentennial of 1863, the

midpoint of the American Civil War and a pivotal year

that witnessed implementation of the Emancipation

Proclamation, great Union victories at Vicksburg

and Gettysburg, and the beginning of the end of the

Confederate States of America.

During this Memorial Day weekend, we invite you to

become a part of living history as you travel through

a microcosm of the Civil War. Union and Confederate

reenactors, civilians, musicians and historic presenters

— all in period attire — are eager to immerse you in this

important American era. We hope you will be inspired

by the array of exhibits, presentations, research

opportunities, hands-on activities and insights from

historians as you participate in the ultimate tribute to

those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Henry Ford will participate in a national moment

of silence on Monday at 3 p.m. as signaled by the

Armington & Sims shop whistle.
