    Join Abe Lincoln along with other living history re-enactors for Blue & Gray Days November 19 - 21. This very successful and well-attended event is usually held at Carnton Plantation but has now extended to include The Carter House as a way to respond to the wide spread demand by tourists and historians who travel from across the country to remember the soldiers who fought on this land for their country.

    Guests will have the rare opportunity to go back in time to the 1860’s and witness a Civil War battle re-enactment complete with cavalry units and soldiers.

    Guided house and cemetery tours make this a must for Civil War buffs. Other program highlights throughout the weekend include special guest Tamla Boone, educating visitors on the art of soap making and Dr. Naima Johnston discussing slave spirituals. Artillery demonstrations, period appropriate vendors and a tintype photo tent will cover the grounds as well.
