Hale Farm and Village
Join us by train for one of the biggest Civil
War Reenactments in Ohio! Immerse
yourselves in the 1860’s as you meet soldiers
and civilians in costume. Shake hands with
the President, shop for hoopskirts, smell the
sounds of gunpowder and see the activities
of the campgrounds. Feel the excitement as
the troops prepare for battle! Members of the
Army of the Ohio and Birney’s Division head
of the Union forces and The King’s Brigade,
1st Confederate Division/Medich’s Battalion head up
the Confederate Division.
In addition to the Encampment, explore the sites and
attractions of Hale Farm & Village, an outdoor living
history museum featuring life and crafts from the
mid-1800’s. Kids will love the farm animals and
pastures, and visitors of all ages will enjoy the historic houses with historical
interpreters dressed in period costume. Demonstrations by the Glassmaker,
Blacksmith and other period crafters are also a highlight.
Enjoy the scenery as the train rolls through the Cuyahoga Valley National
Park on your journey to history. The National Park Service prides
themselves with caring for America’s National Parks since 1916 and
appreciates the chance for visitors such as yourself to view the beauty of
the landscape.
