Rally ‘Round the Flag

Discover how people lived during the Civil War

At Roseland Cottage or Your Site

What did people experience during Civil War? If you were a soldier, how did you spend your day? How did troops communicate? How did the war affect African Americans? Soldier’s families?

Students use their inquisitiveness and historical thinking skills to explore the past and gain a deeper understanding of the Civil War and its impact. Students can learn signal wig-wag, look into women’s roles, build a pontoon bridge, investigate Civil War medicine, question a Civil War soldier, learn codes and ciphers, and more.
