Often organized during times of crisis, a "Camp of Instruction" is set up to improve the standards of the regular units of the United States Army.
The Camp of Instruction at Fort Adams is being hosted by the New
England Brigade many of whom will be portraying the 15th Infantry
Regiment of the
Regular Army which had been stationed at Fort Adams during the
Civil War.
Join us as they recreate a Civil War Encampment on our Historic
Parade Field. This is an opportunity for the general public to see how
reenactors learn to
reenact! Activities include presentations and lectures
on military life, garrison duties, tactics and much more.
While the Camp does not include a battle, there will be infantry and artillery drills, live fire exercises, cooking and medical demonstrations.
