Jonna-Li Catrini, representing a Civil War Reenactor, was at the Bath Museum on September 19th as part of its America 250 Celebration. She portrayed a camp follower with the 16th Maine “At Any Cost” Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Catrini described women’s roles and experiences of the regiment and its significance at the battle of Gettysburg.

Photo 1 – A highlight of Catrini’s talk is a fun conversation piece called a chatelaine from which keys, household, and personal items are suspended from a waist-chain. Shown here are personal photos.

Photo 2 - The popular Enfield 1853 rifle-musket used in the Civil War is described in this photo. This fi***rm was valued for its accuracy and dependability and used by both the Union and Confederate soldiers.

Thank you to Jonna and all who joined us on this special America 250 celebration!
