A Civil War Encampment was held around the grounds of the First Parish Church in East Derry on Saturday, June 15th, 2019, as part of the 300th Anniversary celebration of the settlement once called "Nutfield" [see their event page: here]. The Gilman E. Sleeper Camp, along with members of their Auxiliary and Brothers from other camps in the NH Department, set-up camp near the Civil War monument on the front lawn. They were joined by representatives from the Civil War Roundtable of New Hampshire, including reenactors Bill and Liz Hallett. The 6th Maine Battery, with a light artillery cannon, encamped in the field behind the library (beside the church). Steve Wood, impersonating President Lincoln, also made an appearance at the event.
