Encampment of the Eufaula Rifles

The Encampment of the Eufaula Rifles is held each year during the Eufaula Heritage Association Pilgrimage. The encampment is a living history experience of how citizen soldiers existed in camps during the beginning of the Civil War in Alabama. Students and adults dress in period uniforms, demonstrate cooking activities, live in reproductions of tents of the era, and demonstrate training exercises and the type of guns used during the period. Cannon firings on the hour create a lot of excitement in the encampment. The encampment is held on the grounds of Fendall Hall. Visits to the encampment are free, a tour of Fendall Hall requires a ticket from the Pilgrimage Association or paid admission at the door.
