GHOST SHIPS ON THE RIVER

NIGHT-TIME PROGRAM: On the 163rd Anniversary of the actual event, this program will begin with a costumed living historian regaling visitors with stories of actual accounts of paranormal phenomena that occurred on the battlefield. The stories will be followed by a night firing of the ever popular 42-pounder cannon. For the program's finale, we will have a pyrotechnic demonstration on the pond using our model ship fleet to re-create the US Navy's attack against Port Hudson on the night of March 14, 1863 and the destruction of the warship USS Mississippi.
