We held a Civil War Encampment three years ago and it was very well received by reenactors. We saw large, enthusiastic crowds. The 2015 Encampment will take place on the Framingham Centre Common. Use 2 Oak Street, Framingham, MA for your GPS.
On Saturday night from 7:30 – 10:30 PM, there will be a Civil War Dance featuring the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers with the Ad Hoc Waltz and Quadrille Band at the Historic Village Hall. Your registration includes your ticket to the dance and refreshments. The Village Hall is located on the south end of the Common. This is a beautiful building built in 1834 and is a perfect location for a Civil War dance. Ladies, plan to bring your best dresses and shoes as this dance will be inside, and the building offers a large changing room. Men, please be sure to bring soft-soled shoes for the dance. Shoes or boots with hob nails, tacks or heel plates will not be allowed in the hall!”
