SUMMARY:Carroll 250 Event: Citizen Meets Soldier Presented by Union Mills Homestead
DESCRIPTION:“Citizen Meets Soldier” is a living history of 1863 in Carroll County, Maryland. Join us at Union Mills to commemorate the events of the hot summer of 1863. Walk in the footsteps of the citizens of Carroll County, Maryland, who were divided in their loyalties, and the Union and Confederate soldiers who camped along Big Pipe Creek at Union Mills in the days surrounding the Battle of Gettysburg.\nUnion Mills’ Civil War encampment will celebrate and commemorate the chaos and excitement of the Civil War in Carroll County, Maryland.\nIn the days surrounding Lee’s Second Invasion of the North, small towns in Carroll County — including Union Mills — saw the movement of both Union and Confederate Armies, supply wagons, injured soldiers, and an important skirmish occurred in nearby Westminster. There, Union Cavalry charged headfirst into Confederate Cavalry under the command of Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart. But for a few hours, a battle may well have occurred at Union Mills, as it lay dead center in the Union Army’s defensive line along Big Pipe Creek and Union Mills served as the site of overnight encampments by both Stuart’s Confederate Cavalry and Sykes’ Fifth Corps of the Union Army. Stuart’s Cavalry pulled out of Union Mills just hours before the Union Army arrived! Living history portrayals, encampments, and historic displays interpreting this period will take place on the scenic and spacious grounds of the Union Mills Homestead.\nSchedule subject to change.\n\nSaturday, July 19:\n10:00   Grounds Open\n10:30 Infantry Demonstration\n11:30 Surgical Demonstration\n1:00 Guest Speaker: TBA\n2:00 Infantry Demonstration\n2:30 Surgical Demonstration\n4:00   Grounds Close\n\n\nSunday, July 20:\n10:00   Grounds Open\n10:30 Infantry Demonstration\n12:00 Surgical Demonstration\n1:00 Guest Speaker: Daniel Sieh, Asian Americans and the Civil War\n2:00 Infantry Demonstration\n2:30 Surgical Demonstration\n3:00   Camp Breakdown begins\n\nLiving History Stations for 2025 Event:\n\nShriver family at Union Mills\nGrist Mill\nMedical Staff\nProvost Guard [Military Police]\nU.S. infantry\nPrisoners of war\nBlacksmith\n\nPark Entrance Fees ($10/car) include:\n\nCivil War encampment\nLimited house and mill walk-through tours (Saturday 10 am  – 4 pm  and Sunday 10 am – 3 pm)\nMilitary drills and firing demonstrations\n\nThis year’s dance has been cancelled.
