Memorial Day Weekend at Camp Floyd

During my brief break from work on Saturday, we wanted to take a short ride. I remembered seeing an article on a park with a museum for the pony express not far from our home just past Cedar Fort. This is only a few miles from our home, no more than 15. We drove out there and to our surprise, it was the annual Historic weekend for reactment of the civil war era. These are pictures we took of those participating. They live the whole weekend like they would during the time of the civil war era. It was fun walking through the park and seeing all those who were dressed and living as if they were in the civil war. It was nice to see the old Inn there, where Johnson's army lived. And they have preserved some really neat antique furniture inside. This was the best day of the year to visit this park, and we just happened to go THIS day.. We were very happy and surprised to be blessed with this experience. I read an article in the Herald the next day: http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/309809/17/

This is the Stagecoach Inn..

Below are pictures of the camps set up by those doing the reinactment..





Here is Lani inside the Stagecoach Inn, starting up the steps to the second floor.




Below is an old time bath tub.. Wish I had one of these..



Here is a plaque showing famous people who once stayed at the Inn, one of the guests once shot a hole through a wall with a shot gun.. that hole is still there..


The Inn had several lilac trees around it, this was the biggest one.


This is the post showing the Pony Express spot.. This was a half way mark between several trails. This was a nice day, even Angel enjoyed seeing everyone and the kids who got to pet her..
