Inside the Star Fort

The inside of the Star Fort will run much as it did during the Civil War. Many living historians are coming together to tell a comprehensive story of Union Troops during the war. During Civil War Days, you will see:

Medical Displays from the war
Union Headquarters
Troops living in garrison
Civil War cooking
Meet the Post Suter - forerunner of the modern PX store
Army Quartermaster and their wares
Sunday Garrison Church service

Meet Authors

As part of Civil War Days, we are thrilled to annually introduce guests to authors who attend to help tell the Civil War story and share their work. This year you can meet:

James Conway and David Jamroz - "Detroit's Historic Fort Wayne"
Carl "Traie" Shelhart - "Enough to Make Angels Weep"
Mike Wood - "Tuebor"

Historic Sutlers committed to the 2013 event

Whether you are a re-enactor or a guest, you will have a chance to shop our sutler's row. Sutlers were the forerunner of the current PX store. They sold items the soldier needed or wanted that weren't issed to him. Modern sutlers sell the historic reproductions re-enactors use, or the public sets up in their houses.

Joining us in 2013 are

Past Reflections Reproductions
Linen Merchant
Uncle Jessie
Red's Sutlery
