Rather than merely running to a local store to buy soap, our forbearers had to make lye soap, which we will also demonstrate. Simple demonstrations like these, along with living-history vignettes, will provide visitors with an intimate glimpse into the past. ”As part of the Ci #file_links[D:\keywords5.txt,1,S] vil War’s 150th commemoration, volunteers and rangers at the monument have been conducting living-history programs throughout the year correlating the events of 1863 that took place nationally, #file_links[D:\keywords3.txt,1,S] in the Hales Ford community and on the tobacco farm where Washington was born in 1856.The free event, open to all ages, will be conducted outside so visitors are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather.For more information, visit www.nps.gov/bowa or www.facebook #file_links[D:\keywords4.txt,1,S] .com/btwnm.
