Description of Event:
This two day event is held annually on the weekend before Thanksgiving (Nov. 19-20) on the historic Liendo Plantation in Hempstead, Texas. Civil War Weekend is an opportunity for immersion in 19th century American life. Visit the lawn of the Liendo Plantation home for various period life demonstrations and exhibits including music, blacksmithing, spinning and weaving, soap making, quilting and more. Stop by the Bachelor's Quarters to see the fashion show (scheduled once daily) to get an up close look at clothing and customs of the time period. See a medical demonstration depicting real life medical techniques of the day. The Battle for Liendo takes place at 2 pm on both Saturday and Sunday, with military reenactors from both sides coming together to put on an exhilarating show, complete with live cannon fire and pyrotechnics. Across the street from the food court you will find a "modern vendor" area with a collection of vendors ranging from crafts and artisan products to authors selling their books and presentations by historical organizations. A stroll along "Sutler Row" shows an impression of the merchants of the time period, selling reenacting gear and souvenirs for everyone. Hours: Fri 9am-4pm, Sat 9am-5pmInformation:
