# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Winter Quarters, 1862 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: Confederate Memorial Park, a historical property of the Alabama Historical Commission, will host a special living history on Saturday, January 24, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Visitors will experience immersive and authentic Civil War demonstrations showing the daily life of the soldier. Using barracks constructed from original army plans from the 1860’s, living historians will portray the 22nd Alabama Infantry at winter quarters in 1862.

Winter weather during the Civil War created impassable roads and other harsh conditions that significantly slowed most campaigns. Soldiers busied themselves with a variety of duties including drill, work detail, music, and games. This living history event will provide visitors a glimpse into this daily life. Demonstrations will also include infantry drill, cooking, artillery, and military music.

Spread over 102 acres of rolling wooded countryside near the center of the state, Confederate Memorial Park incorporates the site of Alabama’s only Confederate veterans’ home. Life for the old soldiers, called “inmates” at the Home, was better than most had known before their admission. The Home provided housing, meals, clothing, allowances, medical care and, for many, a place to die and be buried with dignity.

The museum offers exhibits on the life of an Alabama Confederate veteran from recruitment to old age, including hundreds of artifacts from the Civil War and the Soldiers' Home.
Admission during the Winter Quarters living history day is $2 per person and an additional $2 admission for the museum. 

For additional information, call the museum at 205-755-1990. Confederate Memorial Park is located at 437 Co. Rd 63, Marbury, AL 36051. To learn more about Confederate Memorial Park or the Alabama Historical Commission please visit www.ahc.alabama.gov.

## Comments

- [Adam Morris | 2026-01-20 19:39:07] The core purpose of this event may be to educate children about past significant events in history but I fear the underlying theme will be to indoctrinate our youth into normalizing an oppressive period of history and applying it to today’s society to further marginalize certain communities
