Battling Boredom – Soldiers’ Games in the Civil War
Mornings at the Museum are BACK this Spring Break! Step into the everyday lives of Civil War soldiers and discover how they stayed entertained between battles! When soldiers weren’t fighting, they relied on creativity, camaraderie, and classic games to pass the time — many of which we still play today. Join us to make your own knapsack checkerboard and experience games from the Civil War. Recommended for children. Tickets include access to all exhibits.

The American Civil War Museum explores the most critical period in America’s history–the Civil War era. Our premier artifact collection, immersive exhibitions, and diverse programming tell the stories of soldiers and civilians locked in a struggle over the soul and future of this nation. We invite visitors to see themselves as part of an alive and evolving history. The American Civil War Museum explores, inspires, and promotes the public’s understanding of the Civil War’s causes, course, and consequences.
