Attention All Good Southern Soldiers And Ladies

You are here-by ordered to report to

Adams Legion School of the Battalion & Battle of Marblemount



All Union Forces are Welcome to attend also.


May 2nd, 3rd, & 4th

To be held in the Town of Marblemount.



This year in addition to the regular Schools we will be participating in Camp Living History and a Battle/Skirmish to be held in the Town and surrounding areas. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend, as there will be a need for period townsfolk. Ladies bring your rolling pins, frying pans, brooms and any other household weapon you can wield, as you will be an integral part of the Battle/Skirmish scenario.

All Confederate Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery are welcome and encouraged to attend. The Town of Marblemount is really excited to have us and they are taking care of firewood, water, facilities and all the publicity. It promises to be a fun weekend and a good way to start off the season. Camping is period. Please see the schedule and directions below.
