News : Civil War reenactors visit Vinton's depot

Civil War displays at the depot worth a trip for the old and the young.

A variety of civil war displays were at the Depot this weekend and were definitely worth the trip for a bit of education, in a fun way.

Offering a diverse amount of information to visitors, the various displays shared the different types of uniforms worn to a tent set up with displays for the women to enjoy. Most interesting there were displays that used human hair to create a framed picture.

The musket demonstration was a hit among the children as well as the adults.
