2019 Heritage Hill Civil War Encampment
Experience history at the annual Heritage Hill Civil War Encampment on June 15-16, 2019 at the Heritage Hill State Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Since this year’s Civil War event will take place over Father’s Day weekend, the theme will be “Fathers, Sons, and Civil War.” With a shift in the event’s focus to father-son relationships and visitor engagement, this event will look a little different than in past years. Rather than large battles, skirmishes and other activities with a larger focus on visitor interaction will take place throughout the day.
