| Confederate camp.... |
Every September, the battle of Decatur of the Civil War is reenacted at Point Mallard. We have been several times and I always enjoy seeing all the period costumes and the camp sites where the actors camp all weekend. I love talking to the women about how they made their costumes and am a little jealous that they get to dress up like that. If I were 30 years younger, I would so join their group and be taken back in time that is so interesting to me. I talked to one lady and she said that her husband made her costume along with his. They have a collection of 80 treadle machines and he loves to sew. I wonder where they keep all these machines????? Sure would be fun to see them.
