Winter Quarters 1862

Confederate Memorial Park and the Alabama Historical Commission are pleased to announce Winter Quarters, 1862. From Jan. 25 – Jan. 27 living historians will portray the 22nd Alabama Infantry, Co. I “Pike Grays”. Using our authentic reproduction Civil War barracks, approximately 100 reenactors will immerse themselves in reproducing what life was like for soldiers during the cold winter months. No cost to attend – donations to the museum are appreciated. Confederate Memorial Park is the original 102-acre site of Alabama's only Confederate Veterans' Home. The site operated from 1902-1939 as a haven for disabled or indigent veterans of the Confederate army, their wives and widows. Today, our state-of-the-art museum showcases Alabama's Confederate soldier from enlistment to aging veteran and contains hundreds of artifacts from the Civil War period.
