On Friday, October 17th, we attended the Port Hudson Homeschool Day.  They always do a great job with this program.  First off, they always fire the big cannon and then you begin rotating through the stations.  The stations this year were:

1. Cannon demonstration
2. Medicine in the battlefield
3. Soldier life – uniform and gun demonstration
4. Civil war boats
5. Soldier life – rations
6. Civil war cooking – tasting salt pork and johnny cakes
7. Town ball
8. Music demonstration
