Genesse Country Village and Museum Saturday & Sunday, July 20-21 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. July is the 150th anniversary of three of the most important events of the Civil War-the Emancipation Proclamation; the Confederate surrender of Vicksburg, the last major port on the Mississippi still in Confederate hands. And the Battle of Gettysburg. With that in mind, the museum joins in the third year of the Civil War Sesquicentennial on July 20-21. Each day sees two battles, one in the historic village at 11:30 a.m. and another, featuring cavalry and live cannon fire, in an open battlefield at 2 p.m. Meanwhile in the historic village civilians are busy trying to maintain a normal life, while dealing with solders encamped around their homes. Townsfolk occupying the village will offer musical concerts, specialty shopping and vignettes depicting civilian life during the war. The military camps will also be open for inspection during the day
