Our Camp represented the Union again this year at the annual ceremonies at Bentonville Battlefield, NC on the 19th and 20th of March, between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

“The Ground Trembled Under Our Feet” 
Our displays included; ancestor's letters, diaries, swords and documents of service, SUVCW and GAR medals, family Civil War artifacts, SUVCW and Ruger Camp information, references used and documentation retrieved in tracing a Civil War ancestors, recruiting table, and other miscellaneous items.




We enjoyed interfacing with the public and found that spending a few hours at our information tent to be very interesting, rewarding, and an opportunity to get to know your fellow Brothers.

If in you are willing to assist for a partial day, an entire day, or both days, please volunteer for future participation.
