Transport yourself 150 years into the past!  This moving, original production uses actual writings from residents of Framingham and New England to give you a sense of what YOUR life would have been like had you lived here 150 years ago. Thirty local actors and re-enactors will bring over 40 voices from the past to life in a powerful performance that features a live Civil War Camp Band. 

Guests are encouraged to enhance their theatre experience by first visiting the Framingham's Civil War memorial and first free standing library - the Edgell Memorial Library next door.  The Framingham History Center recently installed a mini-exhibit featuring a number of Civil War-era artifacts with Framingham provenance, including General George H. Gordon's great coat and marble bust by Daniel Chester French.  The Edgell Memorial Library, 3 Oak St., Framingham is open Wednesday - Saturday, 1-4 pm and admission is $5/person, free for members/students.
