Buzz: Saint Albans Raid

We spent the day yesterday romping around Saint Albans to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Saint Albans Raid.

 
Got to try some more wine and cheese (and hardtack!) samples, explore civil war camps, watch a cooking demonstration, poke around the historical museum, and watch the reenactments, of course!

We had a great time, and would love to attend next year if they choose to make this an annual event. Unfortunately, the governors ball has been sold out for two months so we couldn't get tickets. The reenactments themselves were rather amateur, compared to the grandiose performances at Fort Ticonderoga, but the overall atmosphere was worth the trip.
