The event was held for two days with battle reenactments, camp demonstrations, shopping at the sutlers tents, tours of the mansion and various out buildings, and a scrapple making demonstration. All-in-all a very successful event at an extremely gorgeous historic site.
We'll be looking to sponsor a national event at Mount Harmon in 2018. More to come.
