Long considered America’s National Pastime, and much more than a typical sporting event, baseball has evolved to become a significant part of the American experience.  During the American Civil War, Americans from the home front to the battlefront, Union and Confederate, played this wonderful game while great armies met and fought each other on the battlefield to decide the country’s fate. 

Join Historical Reenactor, Lecturer and Tour Guide Michael Jesberger for a discussion on the evolution of the game and how it impacted the soldiers who fought during the American Civil War.
