Talk to a blacksmith as he brings raw metal to life with his hammer\, learn the process of crafting lead musket balls\, and speak with volunteers portraying some of the women who provided support to the troops and operations during the Civil War.\n\n \n\nLong time volunteer Michelle Martin will share the incredible Civil War experience of Emma Caroline Morely.  Emma helped the women of Fort Scott care for the sick and wounded in the aftermath of the Battle of Mine Creek.

Long time volunteer Jan Elder will share stories around the many women who participated in battles during the Civil War in "They Fought like Demons."
