So who is coming to Brunswick this weekend?

different parade I think

Nate had posted on the 3rd asking about the Rockland parade on a different thread. I suspect he may have meant that parade...

no parade

There is no parade. The 20th Maine Co. B has organized the event, which includes drills, civilian activities, and a variety of living h istory scenarios. I believe that members of the 20th are doing the signal demos. I suggest you contact them for more info.

That's Cool

I wasn't aware there were other folks doing Signals up here. The NEB could use their assistance at events.

I am confused

Admittingly I have not kept up on this event other than the tidbits from Patti. I was led to believe there was a parade as well. I have the schedule and wonder if it's the procession to the grave???? I'll send a note to the powers that be and ask the question.

Nate, wish you had come to Rockland. Should I bring my McClennans?

Signal? I thought you were coming Eric. I guess it's natural for us to think Liberty Hill. My best guess is that it will be the 20th Maine Signals. They have a small detachment of about 4.

Will

Me Too!

Nope, I thought my unit was the only one as well... Believe me, I'm overjoyed there's another Signal group out there. I want folks to talk to! I just figured I woulda heard about it by now. I may come tomorrow... but if it's 100 degrees I'm not throwing the woolies on.

Chamberlain Days 2005

Saturday, August 13
10:00 am Civil War Encampment - On Brunswick’s Mall
Join the 20th Maine, the 3rd Maine and even a few Rebs
for a Civil War Encampment on the Mall. The troops are
gathering here in Brunswick before heading off to
Portland and shipping off down South. Join them for
military drill, recruitments, cooking and camp life
demonstrations, children's games, letter writing to
home, Sanitary Commission inspections and many other
activities. A complete list of events will be included
in the registration materials.

These are presented in conjunction with Brunswick’s
Destination Downtown. Use the morning to learn more
about everyday camp life during the Civil War. If you
have not yet visited the Society’s historic buildings,
The Chamberlain Museum, the Skolfield-Whittier House,
and the Pejepscot Museum and Research Library, now
would be a great time to do so.

NOON - Lunch on your own

3:00 pm
Afternoon Tea with the Ladies of the 20th Maine in
honor of Sarah Dupee Chamberlain
Re-enactors from the 20th Maine
You will receive a formal invitation to this special

ladies would have done when visiting each other during
those hard days. N.B. An invitation to tea is only
available to those who register for the full
symposium.

6:00 pm
Lobster Bake Celebration
The celebration of good times and good friends
continues with a traditional Downeast lobster bake.
Enjoy an authentic shore dinner in a beautiful setting
on the water. To make the celebration complete, Una
Connors will present Voices From the Civil War. This
is a compilation of readings and music that relate to
the Civil War. Una Connors is serving her twelfth
season as a volunteer tour guide at the Joshua
Chamberlain Museum in Brunswick. She has had a passion
for Civil War studies since grade school and enjoys
sharing her knowledge, both as a tour guide and making
presentations at public events. Una resides in

currently pursuing a degree in history at the
University of Southern Maine.
