The Bald Hill Schoolhouse Civil War Encampment was again held after suspension since 2019. The event was planned months in advance and would be held "rain or shine". It did indeed rain heavily, yet the the living historians 'shined'. This short video was recorded in the rain with a just my hand trying to shield the lens from the drops.held late morning. I pulled up in front of the schoolhouse just as the Opening Ceremony commenced. Please accept the raindrops on the lens as capturing the moment was the priority.
