Civil War Encampment
The Brick Township Historical Society will host the 61st New York Volunteer Regiment for a Civil War Encampment at its Havens Homestead Museum property, 521 Herbertsville Rd., Brick. This will be a rain or shine event.
Visiting hours for the public are August 8th from 10 am to 3 pm and August 9th from 10 am to 2 pm. Admission is free, and donations are gratefully appreciated.
The soldiers will interact with the public, march, fire guns and explain what life was like during an encampment. They sleep in tents and make their own food over a fire pit.
Society members will be grilling and selling hamburgers, frankfurters and soft drinks. They will hold a homemade bake sale, and the Lizzie Herbert Gift Shop will be open with specials. Tours of the museum are also available.
Parking is in a lot 150 ft. east of the museum, accessed by a blue sign that says “Havens Farm.” For more information on the society please call 732-785-2500.
