Hear A Union Soldier's Story At Mammoth Cave National Park

Share
By NPT Staff - November 2nd, 2015

The calendar will be turned back about 150 years at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky on November 11, when a special program is to be offered featuring a Union soldier telling A Soldier's Story.

“Public tours of Mammoth Cave continued during the years of the Civil War,” said Superintendent Sarah Craighead. “Both Union and Confederate troops encamped nearby, and toured the cave. On Veterans Day this year, a Union soldier, in full uniform, will speak to visitors about his experiences on the battlefield and his impressions of Mammoth Cave.”

A Soldier’s Story, a first-person, costumed living-history program by Ranger David Spence, will be presented at the park amphitheater at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; he will entertain questions following the presentation. There is no charge for this event.
