2nd Minnesota Battery Light Artillery

Civil War Encampment

Saturday, September 24

10am-6pm

Step back in time to learn about the life of

Minnesota Soldiers and their families.

Join the Kandiyohi County Historical Society on Saturday, September 24 for a Civil War Encampment from 10am-6pm.  The 2nd Minnesota Battery Light Artillery of Red Wing, MN will be visiting the Sperry House grounds.  The battery will set up camp to learn about Minnesota soldiers in the Civil War. 

            We will have music, demonstrations, food and fun!  The 2nd MN Battery Light Artillery will have different stations for the public to see.  They will include Gun Drills, Civilian Life, Small and Shoulder Arms and Battle Flags.  The Gun Drill will be held at 11am, 3pm and 6pm.  The Second Minnesota Battery Re-enactors are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of Civil War history by living it.  The unit was reactivated in 1985 and has continued to present an accurate and interesting history of the Second Minnesota Battery and Civil War history to hundreds of thousands of people.  

            In addition to the 2nd MN Battery, The Sergeant and His Lady, Dale and Sharon Koenen of Clara City will have their collection on display.  Kandiyohi County’s Civil War Veteran Martin Jorgenson’s gun will be on display in the Museum.  We will have all the buildings at the museum open that day for tours.  This event is free to the public!

This event is sponsored by the Kandiyohi Power Charitable Trust, Raymond Legion, Spicer Legion, Willmar Legion, and the New London Legion.  We thank them for the generosity. 

We hope to see you there!!!
